Abstract
Julius Nyerere is the first President of the United Republic of Tanzania. He is an atypical personage, often called an American Socialist. He's more popular in Tanzania. His nickname is the symbol of his economic policies. During the period where he was on power, his objective was to prevent inequalities between the poor and the rich.
Such a quotation could appear a bit strange, and it's aim is to strike the reader's mind. Actually we often forget that poverty is not only a social a situation, but also a great burden which creates a vicious cycle, very difficult to solve. This sentence means that poverty creates many bad consequences which make the situation even more difficult to support, and these consequences are not known or lived by rich people on account of their better situation.
We can abstract this situation saying that many difficulties bear upon the poor and not the upon the rich. So, what could illustrate the reality of Julius Nyerere's quote? Which examples, which events show how true is this little and amazing sentence "It's expensive to be poor"?
