Rich people often have an important involvement in large companies. These large companies then employ most of the population. Cashiers at a grocery store are typically not rich people. However, the people who run the company they work for (wal-mart, cub foods, target, etc..) are usually wealthy.
When rich people buy a new car, yacht, house, etc... they help employ the people who build them, mechanics, oil companies, people who work at gas stations, the list goes on.
Rich people help employ the middle/lower class.

How to Bridge the gap between the rich and poor?
I think there are many ways to help bridge the gap between the rich and poor. Firstly you could introduce a sensible maximum wage (a bit like our minimum wage!) Or you could increase the taxes on the very rich and use the taxes to put better resources into getting people out of poverty. I also think there should be a limit on how much property someone can own. Though property is very profitable a house should be a home and not a way of making business and gaining huge capital without doing any work! None of these are going to favourable choices.
Why the rich should pay higher taxes?
The rich should pay higher taxes because they exploited the poor and that is how they got rich. If the rich pay the poor accordingly the poor wouldn't be as poor and maybe not even poor at all. And the rich would still be rich just not as rich. Some rare historical periods regulated exploitation and provided for building middle class, the rich hate the middle class because middle class competes with them. So because of this there is always a struggle between rich and poor. In a perfect world there would be more fairness and less disproportion. I am not calling for absolute equality but one making 400 - 500 times over another is not right. No one works that hard. I am sure the comments below were written by the wealthy and privileged person. They shouldn't. I believe, and someone please correct me if I'm wrong, that richer people pay a higher % of taxes because they are assumed to "consume" more. Put a person making $25,000 next to a person making $500,000, both consuming the same amount in life and tell me why the more assertive, more persistent, harder working human being making more money should be penalized for his/her effort. Anyone? There's no answer on the internet and this is a sheep concept -- in other words, it is what it is because it's been this way for such a long time. When the top 5% of our nation goes on strike, goes out of business, stops working and puts up a fight, only then will America really address the issue (when the rich are done paying for the poor and unlucky)
Why does children in poverty take more risk with drugs?
Because there's a lot of money in drugs if we talk about selling it. The rich people they see are either on TV in music videos or in their neighborhood selling drugs. It takes no school to get rich with that so many takes risks to try to get it better. When it comes to using and not selling both poor and rich use it as a way to escape or enhance the party feeling.
