Why am I in poverty?

Hello fellow bloggers and friends!
In this week's blog topic we are going to discuss poverty and how the culture came about. Are you born poor? Do others make you poor such as the elite? How does it work?
Well it all comes down to about 3 theories.
Numero UNO. The Marxist view on the culture of poverty relates to the theory of the elite dominating the poor ones. So basically the theory states that the reason one is poverty is due to the elite controlling the country and the wealth of the economy. This actually makes sense in my opinion but I agree with another theory as well. 
Which brings us to Numero DOS. There is this cycle that people believe puts them into poverty no matter what. Once one is born into a low-class family, one is bound to be poor because they don't have enough money to create something of themselves (i.e. go to college, get a well paying job) and don't have a successful role model's footsteps to follow in the family. I believe this 100% because you see it everywhere. However, there are some instances where it is not the case.
So, Numero TRES. This theory states that people can enter and leave poverty at any time. It kind of cancels the second theory I explained but it is also true. Although some people are destined to be in poverty when they are born and for the rest of their lives because of their poor families, there are some cases where people could achieve their goals and be successful through hard work in school and life.

Aaand that's it folks! Please comment and tell me if you agree!!! YOU'RE AWESOME. :D
