Rich is characterized as having a lot of money or possessions: valuable‚ meaningful‚ or significant. Poor is characterized as deficient in amount or indicating poverty.

1. In my opinion‚ some people are rich because of they are born rich‚ or they worked hard in life to become rich. For example‚ Donald Trump’s sons and daughters were born rich and are used to the expensive lifestyle because they have lived it every day since they were born. Some people are poor because of the decisions that they made in life which caused them to be that way‚ such as not choosing to go to school‚ or finding a way out of being poor rather than staying stagnant. Also some were born

Each level of wealth has different characteristics. Some assumptions of the rich is that they are cruel and don’t thing about anyone other than themselves. They want to get more and more money. People believe this because we see it in our own government. Politicians get paid by banks and other corporations to vote on a legislation that will come in favor of businesses.
