If you ask for help, you get given, for fuck all, 1/3 of the national average income. Remember we're the 5th or 6th biggest economy in the world. 1/3 the average is a large amount of money when compared to the global average income.
Not being able to afford the latest iPhone is not poverty. Other people getting richer doesn't make you poorer. You talk about wealth inequality like it's a bad thing. It's not. If you get a pay rise and I don't, then you have just done your bit to increase the wealth gap. You're getting paid more while I'm not. Well done, you probably deserve it.
