Your first paragraph says that poverty makes people accept things they wouldn't if they had more money. Poverty is the problem there.

Education and a society's culture are certainly important too.

Yes poverty is a factor. But inequality too - it helps to create [the powerless vs the powerful] situations. Even if those on the bottom may not qualify as poor.

Agreed.

In the powerless VS powerful situation, taking aside poverty, what do you mean? The powerful manipulating the justice system with money?

That's a good example. Curtailing voter rights is another. And then there's money -> influence on media.
