I'm still trying to figure out why this post was made... Was there a reason you felt you needed to share your amazing insight into the world and its economic workings? | ||||

And 99% of the people who post on this board are idiots. Inversely, 1% of the people who post on this board are NOT idiots. However, that does NOT mean that they are intelligent. | ||||

i forget the exact numbers but there's some stat that's something like 1% ownes 99% of the wealth and then 10% or something like that of that initial 1% ownes more money then the whole; something like that i forget i read all this stuff last year lol. | |||||

How about everyone just give all their money and all their wealth to me and I will ensure that everyone receives a fair portion and is happy?  *flutters her angel wings* | ||||

Actually all of the Nations money is owned ny the Gov. A "Federal Reserve Note" as it says on US currency, is actually a reciept. A reciept for what you may ask? Well for the gold we supposedly have in Ft Knox, but I dare one of you to go there and ask to get your gold...lol, lets see how fast they pull a gun on you. Heres another scary fact...sorta 1.3 Billion - The number of obese people in the world 1.3 Billion - The number of undernourished people in the world. Strange. | ||||

Also, 1 billion people that doesn't have clean access of water. 2 billion whom do not have electricity. 3 billion that have never used a telephone before. And, the telephone is about 100 years old!! I don't like the kind of world I live in where people are lucky to be born with an abudance of resources and some are not so lucky... | ||||
