There's actually a few different terms about that
the rich mans war poor mans fight was civil war
and today the poor mans war is sometimes refered to as terrorism

Then I take it as the civil war since I talking about the history of social welfare. I googled it and the rich mans war poor mans fight came up but didnt bother to look further since that didnt seem right. I guess I should look more into it.

the poor mans war is a terminology the poor peoples plight to make good, to pay their bills, to feed his family... the rich don't care if the prices go up, they have the money to deal with it, the poor man doesn't. does a man making 400,00 dollars a year care if gas prices are 4 or 5 dollars a gallon? what does the man making minimum wage say about that? it's not a war, persay, but more of ideology that he is at war, fighting to survive about money.
