Whats the main reason for separation of “Haves” and “Have Nots”?

[OddBeMe]

Economies need to push for more people to “have”. So how do we do that? Whats separating us?

[Stoner710]

A lot of things separate the poor and the rich, European societies have a more class based society, it’s harder to get rich in England and France then it is in the United States.

what separates the United States form the rest of the world is we do have mass economic and class migration, example I need to move out of the town I’m in, there are no jobs here I’ve been looking since my job ended in December of last year and with gas prices being so high it’s not worth drive 100-140 round trip to try to look for a job I’m getting by because I worked my ass off last year and have enough so I can sustain myself while I’m trying to get a job but even worksource can’t help because there are no jobs here. If I moved to seattle I could have a job within a week. So that’s part of it is location,

there also education even so college degrees are worthless, Say you have 2 people of every race, white black Latino Asian middle eastern regardless if there a man or a women, take 1 person from all those races and put them in the liberal arts there not likely to get rich unless they go into teaching. If you have them do into engineering computer science math or some sort of scientific field they’re going to do a significantly a lot better than those going into liberal arts,

there’s other factors like motivation, physicality like I’m never going to go into the NBA or become a major league baseball player or football player, I can use my brain to get ahead by not my arms and legs, So unless your going to get rid of all jobs hire robots to do everyone’s jobs and you have no sports no learning and just have people stay at home hand the an Xbox or tv and no one does anything to get ahead or get behind then you can’t really have the speciation of the have and have not with people being allowed to make there own choices in life.

Where is it written that everyone has to "have"? And why do you think this needs to be the case?

There are multitudes of reasons WHY someone doesn't "have", from financial means, to transportation, to housing, to schooling, and so on.

I'm certainly not complaining because others are wealthier than I am. Or about those that live in a house better, bigger, nicer, than mine. Or about those who have college degrees. Even Jesus said the poor will ALWAYS be with you. Effectively, you cannot and will not be able to end poverty.

To believe that everyone should be a "have" and no one should be a "have not" is excessively flawed thinking! I suggest you look at life from a far more realistic perspective. Your point is just one of the many skewed reasons WHY socialism/communism fails - ever time!

Biggest thing unironikly the richest of the rich are betting on space travel. Double middle finger on earth becoming charcoal on there private space ship.

"A society grows great when old men plant trees in whose shade they know they shall never sit” – an ancient Greek proverb

You even have fundamental religions people preying for the end times to come. Rapture from god giving salvation.

Just a universal abandoning of the future generation from both religions and scientific communities.

There is no "haves" or "have nots". It's just media coined terms which have no significance in economics.

There are billionaires and the working poor. Everyone else sits between them.

Right place, right time, right connections. Many times it's also a question of simply having the right perspective. I don't want to trivialize anyone's struggle, but there are frequently mindsets that keep poor people poor.

Lack of unions resulting in pay staying stagnant and all the profits going to the top. Stock buybacks (which were illegal until Reagan, iirc). Citizen's United essentially legalising bribery of legislators.

Probably the bending over and taking it up the arse, that's basically what the haves do, to get what they got. Personally I prefer to be poor, than get fucked in the arse all the time.

Disparities in inherited wealth, acquired education, and luck seem to be good predictors of ultimately acquired wealth.

Laziness.
