There are probably more then 90% of really poor people in the world.
If the people who are in power don't do any good to the poor just imagine a couple of billion people uniting to make things change. And it would be fairly simple since there would already be a whole system that reaches the entire world. Billions could put and maintain in power whoever they felt was best since they would realize that they are all the same in the exact same situation.

I think that the problem is with people transposing the nation government to the global government. They fail to analyze the situation in my opinion though. Every factor will change so this world government will actually have a totally different conceptual value of the nation government.
For example, economy with national governments works through the exchange of resources and benefits. There is a giant game of interest in wich each country tries to get more out of the other. But in a world government there are no other governments to get an interest out of, there is no competition, no striving to get resources that other governments have, no game at all since the government would have access to everything. There would be no motivation like there is now to increase power and financial gain, it would soon become tedious for the dictators.
Its a totally different situation which will require a totally different concept of government. I think thats why people fear it. Because they already unlike the government as it is now and they just imagine it in a bigger scale when in reality it would be something totally different because they fail to analyse the situation through a larger picture.
