Or that person chooses to stay poor. That is the problem with government providing more and more for people. When you have a system that provides and incentive to stay poor - that causes stagnation.
The wealth of the country is the sum of all the goods produced. So when you have millions of people who incentives to produce less - we are all more poor.
That is why equality can only be achieved when everyone is poor as dirt. And that is why poor in rich free market countries have better absolute life standards than middle class in socialist countries.
So you have to choose: either you have better absolute level or you have equality. You cannot have both.
