DP #12: Why Systems fail to support the poor

Systems usually fail to support the poor because in all systems, someone has power over someone else, and it is shown, through the repetitive course of history, that humans abuse their power to benefit themselves. The systems are designed to create an organized societies, and thus far, the most 'successful', prosperous societies are one's with at least a little amount of leadership at the top of the social pyramid. This being said, those focused at the top of the pyramid often find themselves exploiting some of the less powerful in order to make a more successful society. Most systems today have become successful, on purpose or not, through the exploitation of people, and until the nature of humans evolve or people realize and change the faults of society, the systems will fail to support the powerless.
