Only the rich are no so stupid to fall asleep and allow the slow poor to catch up.</p>\n<p>We saw it with Steemit. Those who had the money and the contacts to buy plenty os Steem when this started had the upper hand. The platform is in theory a democratic environment where anyone can become a whale but if you are already a whale from the get-go, no tiny fish will ever be a competitor.</p>\n<p>Rich people, especailly those who are born into rich families, have the know-how, the contacts, and the motivation to do what must be done when it must be done. That allows them to constantly invest and re-invest their money so that even if one business goes down, their fortune does no suffer.</p>\n<p>The average Joe will always be at risk of one failure. One business gone wrong may send them back to nothing in debt and probably in legal problems. True, some rich people started from scratch, but their success stories are in the minority among thousands of failure stories.</p>\n<p>Rich people have the means to hire the right people to do the work of a thousand. They do not have to worry for mundane things that may consume the time of someone who is struggling to get ahead in the game.</p>\n<p>Rich people can receive favors without having to touch a cent of their money. Just with a promise to return the favor, they can achieve things that would cost a fortune to a nobody.</p>\n<p>We see it in Venezuela, how most people are below the poverty line now, but those who were already rich when Chavez started 20 years ago are even richer now. They found ways to adapt to whatever pervertion was done to our economy and no matter how expensive things are for the average person,their business will always be a step ahead and they will always have the resources to maintain their standard of living and several investments (home or abroad) providing constant refilling for their treasure.</p>","appDepth":2,"appParentPermlink":"p33l2ulaq","appParentAuthor":"aalom","musingAppId":"aU2p3C3a8N","musingAppVersion":"1.1","musingPostType":"answer"}" |

Will love answering this one. </p><p>The difference between rich and poor besides money is the network. Rich people have access too a whole different opportunity set as compared to poor people. The rich, after spending money on goods required to sustain life, have ample left to deploy in investable opportunities that poor people will never have. If you look at venture capital funds, hedge funds or private wealth managers, or tax consultants, then you know their services to save money or tax and invest are quite different than the poor. Even in terms of education, rich people have access to better schools. Second is the psychology. When one is poor, they dont have time to think about growing their wealth. They are too busy making ends meet and saving for old age. The rich have so much that they have no such worries. </p><p>And money attracts money. Once you can invest more, you can have more. Lastly, rich also occupy powerful positions in govt or companies and therefore decision making will always favour the rich. For example, a cash surplus company will look at share buybacks and dividends to reward rich shareholders as opposed to increasing wages. </p>","appDepth":2,"appParentPermlink":"p33l2ulaq","appParentAuthor":"aalom","musingAppId":"aU2p3C3a8N","musingAppVersion":"1.1","musingPostType":"answer"}" |

For instance if a rich man owns a firm and employs a poor man, the poor man will definitely be the hard work and at the end of the day the rich man will be the one to pay him what he wants and take the major income of the hardwork which was made by the poor </p>","appDepth":2,"appParentPermlink":"p33l2ulaq","appParentAuthor":"aalom","musingAppId":"aU2p3C3a8N","musingAppVersion":"1.1","musingPostType":"answer"}" |
