No, the poor are not being disfavored by God, but simply being given an opportunity to clear their past karmic-dues, and all «suffering» experiences actually do bring the sufferers closer to heaven, provided that they do not seek revenge or retaliate against their oppressors in any way.

I will now quote an excerpt about Edgar Cayce from Ian Currie's book for everyone's consideration...Ian Currie wrote:
But, he was asked, wouldn’t a belief in karma lead to a fatalistic philosophy? If people “needed” to suffer for karmic reasons, then what justification was there for any effort to aid people in a less fortunate state than oneself? Cayce was quite explicit in his answer. He said that those who needed expiation through suffering for that which they had imposed on others would arrange to be born into a time and place where they would receive it. But, he added, their suffering was also an opportunity for the personal growth of others in more fortunate karmic circumstances. If the more karmically advantaged were foolish enough to abuse their positions by either ignoring or actively exploiting those in a less karmically favorable position, then they were doing something which would have to be paid for in later lives. Karmically determined misfortune and affliction thus offered opportunities both to those who appeared to be their victims and to those who were not. There was therefore no justification whatever, he said, for not trying to relieve human suffering.
It is unfortunate and regrettable but, just as was foretold in times of old about rich men and camels and eyes of needles, the modern-day Prosecutor will find it easier to walk through a mountain-pile of razor-blades than to simply forgive someone who may have crossed paths with a statute, thus guaranteeing his ban from heaven.
I now hereby link the Messiah's page that lists the REQUIREMENTS for entry into Heaven...
