The rich do not understand the poor.
The preposition to remember is : , rich in gold. is Esperanto's catch-all, used when no other preposition has an obvious claim, and this is one of the fixed spots where it wins. The -- suffix turns the adjective into a person, so o is a rich man and a poor one, which is how Esperanto handles English's the rich and the poor without an article trick. o is wealth as a quality, o a piece of it, i to enrich.
