26 Billionaires Own The Same Wealth As The Poorest 3.8 Billion People

Poor priorities and habits as well.

Everyone with children should have this site bookmarked:

That is low balling, they make more than 40 percent more than anyone else combined. That even rich people, yep, and it all a game, it can be taken tomorrow, and it just to high to fall. One thing about not ever having much, falling is not far, the higher you are the worse it is from up there to down below.

THIS

Think of electricity

If everyone had just one solar panel on their roof, how much would that lessen the demand on the power company?

You INVEST in the power grid, PROVIDE FOR YOURSELF, just a small amount, and they make less money from you...you are now an investor making a return!

No, if money vanished we would own all the livestock and farms...oh wait, we already do

Crowdfund..nukes on davos right now!!

Right. The problem is the obstructionist bureaucratic body of law that the billionaires have created to defeat all efforts by the rest to create wealth.

President Trump is dismantling that and they are furious.

Correct

Rich or poor or in between, it's all a consequence of behavior.

Want to change your life, or something in it? Change the behavior that got you where you are...poor people teach their children to be poor...the rich deliberately teach their children a different behavior than the poor

Then you need to read this site - [link to www.getrichslowly.org (secure)]

Rich people live within their means. “Wealthy people avoid overspending by paying their future selves first. They save 20 percent of their net income and live on the remaining 80 percent.”

Rich people don't gamble. “Every week, 77 percent of those who struggle financially play the lottery.”

Rich people read every day. “Among wealthy people, 88 percent read 30 minutes or more every day.”

Rich people spend less time in front of screens.

Rich people control their emotions.

Rich people set goals; poor people make wishes.

Rich people avoid procrastination.

Rich people talk less and listen more.

Rich people avoid toxic relationships.

Rich people set aside limiting beliefs.

Rich people have mentors.

"Rich people set goals; poor people make wishes"

This says it all!

From what I have read into successful people, that's what stands out to me. Successful people make goals, and subsequently float in circles that allow them to work forward towards their goals. Poor people tend to wish for things to happen, but because they figure good things only happen to lucky people, they stay stagnant.

Is there anyone here that actually believes those 26 people EARNED THAT MONEY?

I read an article years ago where some economic experts found your idea would produce very bad "collateral damages" : high inflation, scarcity and war for resources, bad for environment, high increase in population.... a doom scenario (according with them).
It seems poverty was designed on purpose by TPTB !

I disagree with your last part - those billionaires will still have the brains that got them success thr first time and eventually they'll succeed again.

I agree they will succeed again, but it will take more than 6 months; however, the "poor" who received the billion$ will only need 6 months before finding themselves poor again.

I am a 100% free market fan. I am not against anyone getting rich because they have great ideas, know how to put business deals together, etc. but there is an ugly truth about this issue which I agree with but which is never mentioned by the left is the fact that their beloved government is once again the problem.

Corrupt politicians have been bribed into protecting the richest business interests. Much competition has been eliminated for the small guy and when the clearing house time comes during free market cycles which gets rid of dead weight, underproducers and corruption, these Guys have paid for too big to fail insurance.

Big Government, Global Corporations and World Finaciers colluding (being one entity actually) DO keep much of the free flow of the money tied up in their possesion. This wouldn’t happen without the lawmaker mafia protecting their clients. Crony Capitalism is the problem, not rich people in general, who do provide jobs on the plantation, but that’s a whole other story...

Non productive eaters are a serious burden on humanity and scarce resources.

There are many poor people that are hard working,in shit jobs that provide little income.I feel for these people.I know a few who are working 3 jobs to pay bills.This isn't right in today society.These people deserve a decent income.

Africa has been like it has for decades.It is a big business the population producing non productive eaters around the Clock quicker than a production line could knock them out for the West to feed indefinitely.Every meal time on TV you are guaranteed to see some brown skinned Child with a western name called Harry/Bob who needs you to feed him and his future children for ever.

Why has there never been mass sterilizations of those who have made a career out of being none productive eaters.Send all the best Doctors over to Africa and sterilize the fucking lot of them.It is the real answer.

Here in the West we are seeing Africa type attitudes appearing in modern Cities.Generations of useless eaters,producing future useless eaters, lazy bastards Black/White knocking out as many kids as they can for tax payers to feed forever. Some of those families here in the UK can pick up £100,000 a year in Housing benefit and other benefits.Yet the real people trying to get by struggle to get fuck all out of the system.

United States has some of the fatest people i have ever seen.How the fuck does someone afford to maintain that kind of size on government food stamps.Even worse these types think it is their fundamental human right to be fed by the workers reproduce more useless eaters to also be fed.fucked up World we live in.The Fat and lazy have become very self entitled.

:shesright:

Define "the poor."

Let's face it, there are a lot of lazy, useless eaters out there who couldn't be bothered to contribute anything.

On the same token, most wealth is passed down generationally to children who would have been equally lazy, useless-eaters but they've had their wealth to buffer them from persecution.

I think the goal should be that anyone who is able and willing to work full-time shouldn't be living in poverty.

Not all rich people earned their wealth and not all poor people deserve their poverty lol.

But no, let's divide ourselves based on subjective arrogance and presumptions even further.

Dynasties would be a problem. The ones who are millionaires as children due to inheritance did not earn what they have. They had wealth given to them, and all they have known is wealth and the hoarding of such material things.

How can a man sleep at night on a thousand dollar pillow when there are homeless people in need of help? Starving children going hungry.

It takes a village to raise a chief.

Sorry to bust your bubble, but you are way, way, WAY off.
The wealthiest 26 have a combined net worth of $5.9 trillion. If we were to confiscate all $5.9 trillion and give it to those 3.8 billion, each person would receive $1,552.

I don't think that will last anywhere near 6 months.

That's just a bunch of Horse Shit.
The poor are much more aware of what is going to happen for they pray the most and ask for some real justice.
To the rich I say …" pay back is a bitch"

So what's new???

In Breeding is also prevalent in Rich circles, and has been for hundreds of years.They make sure they keep their wealth forever.Those statistics prove they are very good at it.
