The Wealthy, the Poor, and the Filipinos (part 1)
August 17, 2007“The rich getting richer and the poor are getting poorer.” How many of you have heard of this statement? This is probably the most common statement that I have ever heard between the rich and the poor. (Thanks ADB)
How about this, have your heard of this statement?
“If you ever redistribute the wealth of the world evenly to all the people, within 5 years it will be back to the same people who had it before… the rich people will keep doing what they learned on how to build wealth, and the poor will do whatever they’ve been doing before.” (I’m paraphrasing this)
Even though an average Filipino dreams of becoming rich, does he even deserve to be wealthy? Does he/she have the mindset of becoming rich or does it only exist in his dreams? There have been reports that there were squatters that were relocated and were given land titles but to only to sell the land titles and to squat again. What’s wrong with this picture?
