What you forget is most of poor people have crab mentality, they don't want to see other people succeed. Also, they don't have a good understanding about money, even they get a lot of money, they will end up become poor again.
Even in middle class there are still crab mentality, most people are kind and willing to help you until you're in the same level with them, but if they know you're better than them, they will become one of your enemies.
You don't have to say that concerning the poor having crab mentality and mind you them being poor isn't their fault and they tend to come out of it anyway not minding the circumstances they are surrounded with but most times due the fact that it seems nothing is working to their favour,they tend to adapt and still maintain that poor state they are in.
I deeply know it isn't easy cause alot of poor individuals you see today was in that state cause of one mistake or the other but not literally as if they we're really born poor so it's not an avenue to criticise anyone but if they get the chance to mingle with the rich and better themselves they will actually do it,and that's why you see some poor individuals being promoted and put in were they are cause they served their Bosses or whoever is ahead of them with humility and they feel they can come out of that mess.so you saying that doesn't make any sense at all.
