[QUOTE="Greyy, post: 71094007, member: 395879"] The definition of poor versus wealthy is arbitray. It is also meaningless to discuss the number of wealthy persons versus poor persons. In many third world countries, almost all wealth is in the hands of the few. This gives them the economic and political power to maintain this system. Off hand, I recall that 50% of all wealth in the United States is owned by 10% of the population. Most of that is within 1% of the population. There was a time in the world when people were born into wealth, being of noble blood. The social inequality was of divine origin. They deserved to be inside by the fire with their guests, while others, due to birth, labored most of the day, and all of their lives, in the hot and cold. [/QUOTE]
