>Upon what does God base his/her/its/their morals?

Only if you are in a materialistic mindset. God's goal is to bring us closer to Him, and sometimes poverty is means for this goal. In all honesty, I never realized how far I was from Him until I went to Honduras and witnessed people with nothing who were more content than anyone I've ever come across in the States. Peace,
