heck me, you are faster and looser with 'facts' than hodgepodge is. The world is an unfair place - get over it and get back to work. Go and live in Russia or North Korea if you want to experience socialism in its finest glory.It's hard for me to comprehend that people can't see how disgusting statistics like the most wealth 85 people in the world own more than the least wealthy 50% of the world's population are. This wouldn't be so bad if all of the bottom 50% of the world's population had access to food and clean water, and all had the exact same opportunities as the top 85 people in the world. But they don't, the whole game is completely rigged and the rich keep getting richer, it isn't just a saying, it is a trend that has been happening for years.
The top 1% of people have 65 times more wealth than the bottom half. Yet there are children starving in Africa (and Australia to a lesser extent). How exactly does this create more jobs? And how does it create "essential" jobs. The world doesn't really need more ferrari factory workers or jewelery store attendents, but we could use more farmers, scientists, and people working in the develop and construction of renewable energy. Instead the big money is in extracting high polluting energy sources from the earth to earn ridiculous profits for selfish capitalists like Gina Rinehardt.
I don't know your circumstances, but as human beings most people would do their best to help a starving person who arrived at their doorstep. They would cook them some food and buy them a glass of water. Just because they aren't at your doorstep, doesn't mean you shouldn't be helping. It doesn't have to be much, if everyone helped a little bit it would go a long way, but the very richest people in the world could do a lot more.
