The poor you will always have with you, but why?

Some people believe that Jesus said, “The poor you will always have with you,” because he was encouraging us to realize this will always be an unmanageable plight and because it is so large, just learn to ignore the problem as you wish. No! Jesus said, “The poor you will always have with you,” because without the poor, the middle-class and the wealthy do not have the ability to “lay up treasures in heaven.” We need the poor, they will always be with us because by seeing them, they help us “rich” people to go to heaven. They give us the chance to practice the virtues of charity that make heaven possible. If we did not have the poor, the wealthy would remain self-centered and thereby doomed to the fate of the rich man in Jesus’ story - "The Rich Man and Lazarus".
