In the longer term, being a rich country is a temporary condition which lasts a few generations only. After this, that country is certain to experience scarcity, whether by famine, plague or the sword - especially as rich countries tend to accumulate their share of social ills. England, for example, was a rich country at the beginning of the 1900's, and experienced war and scarcity during that century.

Is scarcity an issue faced by only poor people and poor nations or does the rich and poor alike face scarcity?
The poor face a scarcity of resources more often than the rich because they have more limited resources (most importantly, money). But everyone's resources are technically limited. The rich have more money than the poor, but if they spend it all or lose it all, they also face scarcity. If there is a scarcity of a product or a natural resource, it will affect both the rich and the poor, but as prices rise for resources high in demand, the rich will have more access to them, until there is no more for anyone: both rich and poor.
