My country is blessed with alot of mineral resources and lots of talented people but to my surprise the poor became poorer and the rich richier from that, the government only care for themselves and leave the masses to suffer. The economy status of my country as of this writing is still not that good. We are still a third world country from South East Asia. We are surviving and still striving hard to be able to improve and develop our economy
The rich becoming richer is something that happens all over the world not matter the type of governmentm culture, demographics or anything else, and the reason is very simple those with money can use that money to get favorable laws and elected officials to do their will, this is why after a revolution things always remain the same and those that are powerful before it keep being powerful after it.
