This question is 'directionless'. What a common man would think about poverty and wealth from the point of his concern is what a Muslim thinks about the same. The only difference lies is in the context of the message of the Qur'an which states that "indeed Allaah is the giver of the wealth and the things which you don't know".

Hence when a Muslim is impoverished, he makes an attempt to earn his livelihood through the means which have been deemed lawful in the Shari'at and prays to Allaah to bear fruits to his attempts.

A wealthy person, as per the Shari'at, gives away the Zakaat to his Ulil Amr who is Da'i ul-Mutlaq (aq) of his time, he gives Sadaqaah (charity) to the needy.

There are 5 pillars in Islam. One of them is "zakkat" this means that you have to donate money to the needy every year. 5% of your savings has to go to the needy. Muslims have peace, they are not greedy for wealth.
