is poverty our fault? Options

[jennyt13]

who is the start of poverty? who started it? did we? we know that there are millions of people out there that have it worst than us. there are people out there that are starving but what are we doing? we go around and buy the most unimportant things we don't need. we don't need 4 houses all we need is one!!! we don't need 44 cars all we need is one!!!!!!! why are spending money on the things that we don't actually use or need? And when you are donating your money don't do it because its good image for the public or it makes you look like a good person so everyone will like you after that. do it because its the right thing to do. do it because you know you want to. do it because you know that there are people out there that will do anything to get something to eat. do it because its coming from Your HEART!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I don't see the poverty problem as "someone's fault", since that would require a moral reason as a fundamental cause, and I doubt that's the case.

At a first though, I would look for social, educational, economical and political causes of poverty first. Since a group of humans that lacks a solid social structure, a sufficient number of skilled members, organizational power as well as extra resources to "invest" for development purposes is less likely to be successful than another group that has these elemental needs covered.

That doesn't mean it isn't possible to keep the poor in poverty for immoral reasons; Barcelona's highway belt seems to be designed to leave the poor suburbs without direct access to the rest of the city, for example. However, it is better to scratch the surface first.
