Maybe the country has a stupid or selfish or ignorant leader. Maybe the country has a religeon that doesn't value making money. Maybe they have no land that can grow food. Maybe they don't get enough water. Maybe they get too much water.

Most countries that are rich are countries that give more freedom to their citizens, letting them own property and allowing them to keep the results of their industry. Power equals Freedom. The more Power the government has, the less freedom the citizens have.

Why does God allow some people to be poor?

God's existence is as imaginary as Santa Clause or the Tooth Fairy.

It is pure theological sentimentalism to suggest that a person's life is governed by a supernatural Judge. This higher power unfairly places one baby in the home of an affluent family while dumping the other in the home of pauper. This higher power places one soul in a beautiful and wholesome body while punishing the other with the hellish imprisonment in a diseased and deformed body.

Religious leaders use God and Satan as a system of punishment and reward for what they determine to be Goodness or Sin, in order to subjugate their gullible followers.

People use the words written by other men as proof of their religious theologies but never can they produce the realistic evidence as proof.

GOD DOES EXIST ....and the reason why people are super pour even if he exists ....is because they dont pray to him....they are waiting for the miracle to come out of the blue and its not going to happen unless they start praying constantly ad putting all their difficulties on GOD'S hands because everything can be done through him ....sometimes people give up on GOD and they way that they give up o God is that they grow tired of praying because they see nothing ut that is when God is testing our faith in him ..but when people see nothing is when they stop praying and that is when god gets disapointed and gives up on then like they say god doenst hear the one in need that doesnt talk to him ...and the oly way to talk to god is through a prayer .. so they way to do it is to keep praying until he answers and even if it takes a long time but surely i assure you with all my heart that GOD will answer you ....just remember keep praying and never give up on him and he wont give up on you ....I WISH YOU GREAT LUCK AND I KNOW IF YOU DO IT WITH ALL YOUR HEART HE WILL LISTEN TO YOU BECAUSE I DO IT WITH MY HEART AND NEVER GIVE UP UNTIL HE ANSWERS MY PETITIONS AND IT WORKS ...

Wealth in the hands of people. Makes them think themselves more important, or aloof from those who lack money. Pride develops (distinction), envy... when someone comes along with more wealth.
