Answer 1

Karl Marx would most likely agree with the sentiment that "the rich keep getting richer while the poor keep getting poorer." Marx's theories focus on class struggle and the idea that capitalism inherently leads to the exploitation of the working class (the poor) by the bourgeoisie (the rich), leading to increasing inequality.
