Progress that seperates the rich and the poor is not true progress. Those who have money may progress while those who don't may not. As a whole, a country or nation can't move forward this way. As evidence to prove this, the U.S. economy could not progress during the Great Depression. At that time there was a lot more poverty than there was wealth. Because of that, the nation couldn't move forward. That is why there is no progress that seperates the rich from the poor.

The progress that separates the rich and the poor is not true progress. At any given time, the rich may progress, but the poor doesn't. As a whole, a country or nation cannot progress this way. An example would be the Great Depression. During this time, poverty outnumbered wealth. Therefore, the country's economy could not strive. It is for this reason that progress that separates the rich and the poor is not true progress.
