I don't know. I tend to think of poverty as relative. If you've never had anything, how do you know what you don't have?
The people that cause insurgencies seem to either be those that had and lost or those that have and want the have nots to have too (without giving up their own of course).
At the end of the day, the point is poverty doesn't equate to insurgency. I think the perception of non-participation, especially in the political process, is a much more common root cause.
