If u r born in a poor, u likely hungrier for opportunity and money.
Of coz the opportunity and money must come from legal means. There are people (both well-to-do and poor) who are desperate to try all means to get richer.
No matter what is the income level, there will always be the bottom 20%, or bottom 5%. The prices of goods within a country will be set based on a general acceptable level for the whole population, which will definitely be considered as 'expensive' for this group of people. So even if the bottom 20% can be earning a higher pay then now, they will still be consider poor. There is no end to this matter.
So, how can one really eradicate poverty?
