I don't see this happening despite the efforts of a few to help others.

There are a lot of poor people(PP) compare to rich people(RP). While there are instances that we can blame PP for being poor, most of them are because there are a lot of RP taking advantage of these PP. How can these PP rise, if there are a lot of RP boosting themselves up while pushing those PP under them further below?

There are a lot of proofs, just consider the employment here in our country that even a waiter or a sales lady's job requirement is too much for the said job. While their requirement is so high, the pay grade is not even comparable to the said requirement. This is the world we are living in, as RPs will keep their stumping their feet on the ground while those PPs will keep on persevering on that same ground.
