Why do people keep saying the rich get richer?

For the past three years, as Iverson chased an NBA comeback, his marriage fell apart and much of his fortune – he earned more than $150 million in salary alone during his career – dissolved.

it was not his marriage fell apart naturally ---->if iverson still had that cash ,that gal was not going to leave him and run away

good luck

the question is associated with the capitalist economic system, where the factors of production is owned and controlled mostly by private individuals. in this system there is exploitation of man by his own fellow man, the system can also be said to be "darwin-stic" in nature i.e survival of the fittest, that is why its often said the rich get richer and the poor gets poorer....thanks

just because youre rich doesnt mean you cant go broke.

it's an expression
