[Vision2020] Say What?

[keely emerinemix]

I never make the presumption, in cases of 90-10 wealth distribution, that those who have the most have worked the hardest for it.  I do recall that in a fallen world, oppression runs wild and power coagulates . . .

Keely,
 
You write:
 
"I have to conclude that, as is the case in most Latin American countries, this is an example of the injustice of some 90 percent of the wealth being safely lodged in the hands of 10 percent of the people . . . "

Why is it unfair that 10% of the people have 90% of the world's wealth if they produced it? Did you not earn your wealth? Do you think it is fair that I take your money and give it to the bottom 90% since you are wealthier than 90% of the world?
 
Pehaps what we should ask instead is, how can we work to improve the living conditions of 90% of the world? Not how we can take from those that produce and give to those that do not. 
 
Best Regards,
 
Donovan

I stand corrected on Mexico's position as the 12th wealthiest country in the world -- I think -- and so find it all the more appalling that so much poverty exists.  I have to conclude that, as is the case in most Latin American countries, this is an example of the injustice of some 90 percent of the wealth being safely lodged in the hands of 10 percent of the people . . . 

Thanks, Chas --
