[kehadclm] Keep the rebels poor

Some people want to rebel against the government because the government is keeping them poor.

The government keeps them poor as a means of control, to keep them from rebelling.

In this feedback cycle, it seems everyone is acting rationally.  The cycle seems inescapable.

How common is this situation?

We see this in third-world enclaves within first-world countries: Native American reservations, Gaza strip.
