Brownsville is the poorest city in America and because of this reason companies like LNG want to industrialize it.

Poverty is a basic element of capitalism; it is not a failure of this type of economy, but is actually evidence of its success. The existence of poverty has nothing to do with a poor distribution of wealth, but rather in a free-market economy, wealth is not distributed at all. Poverty proves that an individual’s ability to earn money is completely up to them. In theory the equal redistribution of wealth is a decent idea, but it is human nature to want to be better and have more than everyone else; therefore, there will always be people who are wealthy, and those who are not.
