What an "entitlement " concept!
Unfortunately for you, in most of these countries you wouldn’t be considered poor.
Over 80% of the world’s population lives on less than half of your impoverished $766/month ($9,192/year), including just about everyone outside of western Europe, North America & Australia/New Zealand.
The richest 1% of people in the world receives roughly as much as the bottom 60% (in total).
The world median income was about $1,700 ($141.66/month) in 2005. This was mostly earned through hard work, not from an independant source whilst out cruising in a boat worth ten times the value of their home.
My apologies for not sounding more sympathetic to your dire plight.
