1 those who cannot do for themselves are seldom given the assistance they need
2 those who can do for themselves but choose not to and know how to get the handouts
3 those who work hard to do for themselves but cannot get ahead
4 those who work hard for themselves and manage to make a place for themselves
5 those who help groups 1,2,3,4 out of kindness
6 those who use groups 2,3,4,5 for their own agenda
7 those who steal from groups 2,3,4,5 to line their own pockets
8 those who are friends with 5,6,7, they run the world
The powerful typically divide the groups 1,2,3,4 by age, race, culture, status, and religion in order to prevent a collective power that is stronger than those that run things. I in general think the world will always run this way, and think if balanced it works. However the farther out of balance the system gets, the more divide occurs moving people into the highest and lowest groups. Eventually a reset is required. Look at history and the fall of many great nations.
Thats my opinion, it may be a bit negative, i don't know the politics of the entire world, however I believe for a large part of the world this is true.
