[QUOTE="Cowabunga, post: 8138645, member: 718"] The simple fact is that it is likely that when there is a shortage, the people with the highest income can afford to buy while those on the lowest income can’t. It is completely pointless being idealistic and saying that incomes should be levelled worldwide because the simple fact is that it can never be. Up until lately world poverty was at its lowest level ever in history, or at least since the industrial revolution. That is about to change again, for the worse. It is also complete bullpoo when people point out that in an increasingly wealthy society, the gap between rich and poor widens. Well duh! Of course it does because the gap between 0 and 50 is only half as much as between zero and 100. Simple economics or even basic maths. The aim should be to make as many people as possible relatively wealthy and as few as possible in real poverty. But to achieve the aim of not having poverty, wealth quality jobs has to be created. It should be obvious that one of the major causes of poverty worldwide is conflict and war. Followed in a close second by corruption at all levels of society. Third is an inept governance including the inability to collect and utilise taxes. [/QUOTE]
