YOUR SAY: Money, money, money...

Nowadays, a sad reality of our society is that, with the economic crisis, poor people become poorer and rich people become richer, instead. The difference between this two stages is getting bigger everyday. The people who used to have a normal economic status are now more likely to decrease their gains. We live in tough times but still there are some people who have now, with the crisis, become richer. Most of them were already rich before, so that leads us to the conclusions that the "medium class" is slowly disappearing. A part of the society is the polar opposite of the other, and the difference is getting more noticeable.

Personally, this extreme differences make me angry. I understand that there's always going to be rich people and poor people, but I think that some rich people have increased their current accounts by using or taking advantage of poor people who are desperate to work for any income. 

USA, for example, being one of the wealthiest countries in the world, has high rates of poverty. And what about some of the emerging Asian countries? There are plenty of Asian "new billionaires and millionaires" coming out of nowhere while lots of people in cities like Tokyo have to live in a mere space of 50 square meters or less because they can't afford a better place to stay. And people in Africa are suffering from hunger and, with the constant wars, poverty is something widely extended among those countries.

I think that there should be solutions to this problem. We should help the poor and make sure that anyone who gets richer does it legally and because of their own merits.
