RE: too rich?
January 22, 2013 at 12:21 pm (This post was last modified: January 22, 2013 at 12:22 pm by popeyespappy.)
I’m a little skeptical of the claim that extreme poverty could be ended (forever seems to be what they are saying) with a onetime investment of $60 billion. That’s not to say I don’t have a problem with current wealth and income inequity. I’m just not sure we could cure the worst of it worldwide with what amounts to 1/10 of the US’s annual investment in defense. Or offense if you prefer…

Having said that according to Forbes the world’s richest 100 people are worth a combined $1.7 trillion. Just 10% of that would be almost 3 times what these people are claiming it would take to end extreme poverty. That would leave those top 100 with a mere $1.5 trillion. The poorest of them would still be worth more than $8 billion.

It’s time to eat the rich.
