Poverty
“Not everybody has equal rights”
It is possible to buy, the right to do certain decisions, to create certain buildings, to go to specific
locations, to use products and facilities, to serve in certain occupations, to manage certain things,
etc. Basic items like food and shelter have to be purchased with money.
Now if a person has enough money to survive, with a little more, they're called middle class.
When they have plenty of money and can manage a large number of people and/or resources,
they are called wealthy.
When someone struggles and tries to barely survive, we call the working poor. And if anyone
gets too little to live well, that's poverty.
When you are in poverty, you have practically insufficient shelter, insufficient food, poor
working conditions, no access to certified schooling or other means of increasing your wages,
poor access to health care, worse clothes, and so on. All is a compromise, and a little more of
something means a little less of something else. If you do fall in debt or below 0 so all of a
sudden it costs a lot more, and the circle gets worse.
People often end up becoming depressed, vulnerable to health problems or to addiction. Even
they do things without paying for that right first. That is deemed illegal, and if that is the case,
their rights would be even more limited from then on. (Unless they are able to pay for better
treatment within the justice system)
The state serves to uphold the rules of who has the right to what, but since, if left alone, people in
poverty want to die or rebel, to prevent too much death and/or crime, the state provides
occasional handouts to a lot of people. Or occasionally it only happens to be really violent. High
propaganda is still commonly involved.
In a society that is built to be uneven, where people are told that some people get better than
others is better for all.
