Explanation

QPSR. The first sentence that is given to us is the fact that in democratic countries all men are equal in the eyes of the law. The next sentence will be the statement that deals with the wealth distribution and tells us that in spite of being equal in the eyes of law the people are not equal with same level of wealth. The next sentence tells us that while some are living in luxury some do not even have enough to sustain or clothe themselves. The next sentence talks about the finest cities, where too, many live in single rooms and their living conditions. The conclusion will follow where the given sentence tells us that they do not live like this for fun but are too poor to afford another room.
