Poverty in America is a result of American capitalism, at a very high level. At a very very high level, it is caused by human greed, and a lack of love for our neighbors.

We can talk about wages and employment rates, and race all day long, but those are just details. It's human greed in the end, and our inability to love others like we love ourselves.

Poverty itself can be caused by many things. But poverty in the most powerful country on Earth is not for a lack of resources.

There was almost nothing you can consider modern science or technology in Ancient Rome.

No matter how powerful Ancient Rome was, it wasn't even comparable to some third world country today.
