Those 3.6 billion must be pretty useless people

Exactly. They are not poor BECAUSE the 8 are rich.
Will Mothra and the Granuidastas ever comprehend that? No.

Frank has no brains!

If we had an economic system and culture that those poorest 3.6 billion people live by, then we too would be part of the poorest 3.6 billion people.

Exactly - their culture and economic system is ripping each other off mercilessly, stealing and cheating and outrageously exploiting each other. They have created their societies in their own image. These are hellholes because of the people, nothing else.

Look no further than what rich Indians, Arabs, Chinese, Africans do to their OWN poor.

Frank is some kind of monster: LOOOKOUT Grin

You are one of those horrible darkies victimising your fellow deeply tanned blacks whose lives matter - just not to other darkies.

I'm pretty white actually Shocked

Most people are poor because they were raised by their parents to be poor, their parents were raised the same way. There are fewer barriers to success than ever. When I see the cry babies resent the success of others the real problem is the BS they have been fed since birth. "The Poor man don't have a chance, the rich man will always keep him down". Now you can change "poor" to the minority of your choice and cry racism and maybe guilt someone into giving you something you didn't earn. There is no free lunch, someone always has to pay the bill. If you resent the success of people who have something to sell to the public don't buy it. I have a short list of businesses and companies I will not do business with. It doesn't hurt their bottom line but I feel better not adding to their profit.

Lets cut the crap for once, you want them to be stripped of their wealth because you are jealous. The greediest people I have ever met were poor, they would steal the pennies off a dead mans eyes and complain it wasn't quarters. We live in a fragile society in the West and the Leftist are doing what they can to tear it down. Equal results for unequal effort has never worked and will not any time it will be tried in the future. Most self made successful people failed before they got it right but being the timid souls that you are only want to believe someone had to be exploited for someone else to get rich.

Another case of class envy, there is no shortage of fools. The world doesn't care if you choose to be a failure, that's on you.

I literally don't know where to begin to critique the angry ignorance above.

Have a look at The Guardian article 'Why do we think poor people are poor because of their own bad choices?' for instance.

You sound like the "angry welfare woman".

Live below your means and save before you spend. Find a Mentor even if it is only a book someone successful wrote. I recommend J Paul Getty, Charles Givens and Dave Ramsey. Don't be a crybaby, step outside of your comfort zone and take a chance. As I said before, the World doesn't care if you stay poor. If you want to better yourself you will need to be the one who puts in the work.

What if you can't buy a book Roll Eyes

Library? Half.com? Free Matter for the blind audio? I can only point, you need to do the rest!

You're completely insanse brother:

It is not so much bad in a causal sense, but is a symptom of something wrong.

No it doesn't.

Yes it does.

Can you give an example?

Inequality between countries
Looking at inequality between countries essentially means looking at poverty. Research by internationally renowned experts like Paul Collier and Nicholas Sambanis has shown a strong link between the wealth of a country and the probability of it suffering from civil war. 1 The risk of civil war is much higher in poor than in rich countries. A country with a GDP per capita of $250 has a 15 percent chance of descending into conflict at some point in the coming five years while, in a country with a GDP of $1250 per person, the chances are less than 4%. 2 It is much cheaper to recruit rebels in a poor country, where wages are low and unemployment high, than in a rich country, where costs are much higher and the state is likely to have more resources to deter a possible rebellion.
