When adjectives like rich, poor, young, etc., are used to refer to people in general, they can function as a noun phrase without an article. This expresses a general statement about all people in those categories. Using "the" would refer to a specific group (the rich and the poor). A or an is incorrect because they cannot modify the plural, generic sense here.
Use zero article before adjectives used as general nouns describing people (e.g., Rich and poor, Young and old). Use "the" if you mean a specific, known group (the rich and the poor).
