@eutaby,

if we are not poor today, how can we be rich in the future?. And then how can we say "We are rich now!". Future mah rich hunu ko lagi, ahile gareeb hunu zaroori cha. (This message has been approved by Prachanda).

On a serious note, the answer is corruption and lack of civic consciousness. A society should be made on the golden rule "Do unto others as you want others to do unto you."  Once you live according to this rule, Society will prosper.

One does not have to be a Christian to live by this rule.
