From birth, all people have different talents and opportunities. But nevertheless, I agree with you in the aspect that many people do not try to change something around them. But on the other side of the scale, the rich also behave very scrupulously towards all people (not just the poor) According to statistics, 99% of all the wealth of our planet is in the hands of 1% of the rich. Don't you think that's too unfair?

The question should be why the remaining 99% are so poor, and not why the 1% are rich? The difference here is that you want to take away wealth from the super-rich and make them as poor as the others. This is classic socialist thinking, that was implemented in countries such as North Korea and Cuba. You can visit these countries and see the state of their economy. I want to make the remaining 99% as rich as the top 1%. But that should be done by giving them opportunities and enhancing their skill set, and not by giving them handouts. Giving handouts will make people beggars without any self respect and that needs to be avoided.

It seems that people think that robbing from the rich is somehow moral, similar to what we see in the fictional story of Robin Hood, but the moment that comes to pass then what it is the point of becoming a productive member of society when everything you have worked so hard for can be taken away? One of the problems is that most people never see themselves as wealthy, they only think of those that are very rich but in fact if you are middle class then most likely you have a better life than the majority of the people in your country and you will be affected by such policies, unfortunately most people only realize the mistake they made until they have nothing close to the life they had before but by then it is too late to do anything about it.
