Poverty versus Wealth

Income gap aka wealth gap has been widening despite the measures taken to eliminate poverty. In fact, the rising economic growth has indirectly drifted the gap between the rich and poor, especially in the LDCs. How ironic.

Some factors that cause the poor to be poorer: inaccessibility of resources for the poor, poor infrastructure for the poorer areas, and most commonly, a very poor=weak-willed government. Corruption is dah main food for dah disgustingly corrupted governors.

Why do I write such?

Quoted, apparently a saying, from Inside Man (coming out 6Apr) : When BLOOD is shed on the streets, (certain) people see opportunities in land property.

How sad life is.

People have been living rich at the expense of others, especially the poor. Exploiting the skills and labour of the poor with low wages may seem despicable, but then again, who doesn't make use of 'crisis'? Richer are plainly seizing the opportunities, as much as the rich did not wish to harm the poor, they are directly or indirectly worsening the lives of the other parties.

Sidenote: I'm really in sleep mode, so phrasings may be awkward. Pardon me.
