Why is it that the rich get richer and the poor stay poor?

The rich get richer and the poor stay poor because of the way the rich are abusing an already flawed economic system. The world is increasingly become a society of the "haves" and the "have nots". The resource war has kept people in charge of resources on top, and the resource stricken in poverty. Economic inequality is escalating and people are having more difficulty moving up the economic ladder. There are multiple conspiracy theories about the powers that be, making us question the legitimacy of organizations like the IMF and World Bank that are supposedly established for the purpose of promoting welfare and serving these impoverished people.

Jamaica for example, is being thrusted by these corporations further into poverty by being granted debts they can't afford to repay.
