The wealth of the rich enables them to build strong defenses, which protect them and enable them to keep and acquire more wealth.
The poverty of the poor leaves them nothing with which to avoid or defend against destruction. This causes them to lose even more of what they already have, which makes them poorer.
The considerate and generous wealthy seek to share their excess in ways to save, secure, educate and uplift deserving poor people or the general public.
The prudent poor seek to understand their situation and to plan ways and means to exit poverty. They will solicit advice from the more fortunate. They will use welfare to escape from the need of it and never to return to it.
The inconsiderate wealthy seek to keep all they have and to acquire even more. They may even try to usurp wealth they have no right to own by underhanded or illegal means.
The inconsiderate poor merely complain of their situation and take no thought of how to change. They may horde to themselves that which they could spare for the less fortunate.
