When a nation is rich with resources and its’ people are poor, what are the leaders of this nation? – ‘poor in the head’!

Here then, the real issue is ‘Poverty of the head’ and not of the pocket.

Poor in the head or Poor of the head?

But when the majority of citizens are poor in their pockets and weak, then everyone is poor. Everyone is poor in the head. Everyone! No Dropouts!
