“If poor people owns something valuable, they stop being poor when wealthy people take it”

Only if you accept the money given makes up for the loss. Money does not make someone rich. It may put bread on the table but that poor person is still poor because they lost what was important to them.

Also the rich don’t get rich by paying more than they have to, which may not be what the property is worth to the original owner.
