The ongoing discussion and debate between the rich and the poor, is a topic that we all have our own thoughts and opinions on, and as long as we as a society continue to bow down to and worship rich people, it’s never gonna end.
It’s one thing to feel inspired by rich people, but it’s another thing to be willing to get on your knees and lick their feet clean, which I see a lot more than I would like to.
I’m not here to rant about whether I think billionaires should exist, how immoral it is, blah blah blah.
I’m here to talk about a certain DELUSION that I’m seeing more and more when it comes to the rich and the working class, which is that a lot of working class people who worship the rich, believe that doing so will make them rich as well. Well, I’m here to tell you that this is NOT TRUE!
Bowing down to rich people will NOT make you one of them, and this false hope that a lot of y’all hold, will be the death of yall, I swear.
The harsh truth is, we can't all be rich. All 7.9 billion of us can’t be rich. Somebody’s pockets gotta be empty.
These motivational speakers and “how to get rich” gurus are lying to y’all.

And with that being said, I’m here to list and explain the reasons why it is impossible for every. single. person. in this world to be rich. Starting with:
Exploitation:
We’re told that everyone can be rich and that it’s possible for there to be no poor people in this world, which if you're ignorant, sure, you might believe.
What they don’t tell you and what a lot of people don’t realize is that a lot of rich people would not exist without the poor and the working class.
This is a no-brainer, but the wealthy who obtain their wealth through entrepreneurship, get wealthy because they have the poor and the working class working for them.
If the poor and the working class don’t exist, then who’s gonna be slaving away in these factories with terrible working conditions and terrible wages in order to make the wealthy even more money?

These entrepreneurial type of wealthy people depend on the poor and working class to make them money.
No millionaire or billionaire will be working in a factory for other rich people because they can afford not to, while the working class cannot.
And this same argument still applies to movie stars and entertainers.
Who’s responsible for making sure they get a big payday? US!
We pay to see their movies. We buy their music and we buy their merch. Realistically, if we were all rich, we’d all have better things to do than put money into these celebrity’s pockets.
No One Is Rich If We’re All Rich:
This is arguably the biggest argument on why it’s impossible for everyone to be rich/wealthy, and for a good reason.
By definition, being rich or being wealthy means that you have a lot more money than the vast majority of the world population.
Now, with that in mind, does it make sense for everyone to be rich?
The answer is NO!
It doesn’t make sense because that defeats the entire purpose of what being rich and being wealthy is.
If everybody on this planet were rich, then we’re all just normal.
We’re all just “average” because we’re all on the same equal playing field.

It’s like power in the sense that nobody has power if everyone has power because no one would have authority over anyone if that were the case.
However, a lot of people don’t understand this and truly believe that just because Jeff Bezos, Elon Musk, and Bill Gates made it, that means everybody can make it……

…. which brings us to the SCAM and the FAKE DREAM.
Fake Dream:
What the fake dream does is sell people the delusion that all 7.9 billion of us can make it just because 13,000 people made it.
They try to convince us that we can all make it through the little crack in the system and make it to the golden gates, which (sorry to burst your bubble) is simply NOT TRUE!
The harsh truth is, if you’re in POVERTY (I’m talking about the lowest of the low), there’s a 96% chance that you remain in poverty for the rest of your life.
Moving up from poverty to poor is one thing, and moving up from poverty to lower middle class is one thing….

(Ok I’m exaggerating here a little bit)
But this is how they get you: the system gets you to believe that you TOO and everyone else can become rich or wealthy by advertising to us non-stop about the once in a while “glitch” in the system.
This “glitch” is when a person who grew up in poverty or low middle class (or even just middle class in general) does manage to make it through the little crack.
They want us to believe that we can all be part of the 4% just because this person is part of it.

We can’t all be part of the 4% if it’s called the 4%!!!
