Well, the Elite is systematically giving away the West's wealth to prop up the poorer areas of the world such China, India and East Asia. So you
might just get what you wished for.

Maybe they should give more to charitable organizations such as United Way. You know, that's the one that makes people rich.

When is enough money enough?
Some of these people have more money than they could spend in their lifetime, probably. And why aren't they spreading it around to the poor people,
the homeless people, the starving people?
I despair when I think of all the suffering that could be alleviated.
Oh boy! You're telling me that all I have to do is be a homeless bum in order to receive handouts from super-rich people?
Where do I sign up?

Giving money to the poor won't make them less poor. The concept is disturbingly similar to what we are currently experiencing on a national level.
The only way a person or a country can escape poverty is to produce more than they consume. If I give a million dollars to a person, in all
likelyhood, I will get all that money back after they spend it. They will still be poor, and I will still be rich. Unless that money is invested in a
means to produce something in excess of that million dollars, the poor person has no hope of escaping poverty.

Look a couple of posts before yours and look at the video I provided. It takes less than you know for people to be able to rise above poverty, to
start their own businesses, feed their families, etc.

It would be enough if I could keep everyone from dying from lack of water or food.... How great that would be... Help your fellow human and grow,
thats what life is really about. At least to me... I mean I bet i'd be popular if I brought food to everyones table.

That primarily applies only to women.
Oh sorry. I don't know if it's in one of the greenchild's vids about micro loans who showed one man who started a store and another opened a
doctors office. There are different groups who are helping the poor with these micro loans. I only posted one group.

This statement has upset me. I'll eat a big, fat, juicy animal to comfort me self.
