You are foolish. Everything is connected. The divide between the rich and the poor is this: the rich know enough of reality to play the poor, tricking them into debt, mental and physical mutilation, and so on. The poor needs to learn more than the rich. Edit: I regret using your words of poor and rich. I realize now that those terms are generalizations and do little to actually point out the players. Some poor people know how to manipulate, and so do some rich folks. But not all of them.
