Why are poor people poor?

[Filuwaúrdjan]

The vast majority of poor people are poor because there families are poor or because the economy of the area they live has either collapsed or is seriously underdeveloped.

Isn't it interesting how quick people are to blame the poor for being poor?

[Filuwaúrdjan]

Yes, for a very small amount of people, Poverty is their own fault.

But for the overwhelming majority of people living under the Poverty line, it's a result of factors beyond their control.
And when you're at the bottom of the ladder it's very, very hard to climb any higher.
That's not a "nice" thing for most people to acknowledge but it's the truth, painful as it is.

[Filuwaúrdjan]

Religion causes more poverty than there should be.
