Of course it is.
Poverty is a slightly reduced form of slavery - the most profitable business model in history.
I'm sure there were bigots behind the slavery movement, but the main reason our ancestors bought, sold and exploited people like cattle, was profit
After a terrible no fault car accident on the way to work i became disabled and impoverished. Trying to raise a child alone with out family and being on a very low fixed income makes it impossible to get out of the situation. The way people ( doctors, insurance staff, rental managers, towns people, assistance programs, and more) treat someone impoverished is humiliating and leaves little if any room for hope. I live with constant fears of all sorts. It never goes away. It is no way to live.
