In order for someone to be rich, many others must be poor.

If you're below average, yes, I would consider it poor.

What a great argument. The man is keeping all the poor people down, and by poor, we mean the bottom half of all wage earners, regardless of what their actual income is. In your world, the economic crisis would never change, because there will always be below avg, even if everyone were millionaires.

If everyone were millionaires, then inflation would kick in to account for it, and they'd still wind up being poor.
