Global Wealth Inequality

[Humi]

I will have to disagree. People buy goods at a price. It is upto China to impose minimum wage like they have in the lands of opportunity same goes for African countries with diamond mines. A corporation will go where it can find cheap labor and will only buy goods from who ever sells them at the best rate. Same goes for people. They want to buy goods at the lowest price. Would you buy an I phone made in Chad for $650 when you can get Chinese for $500.

A slavery is when you force people to work without paying them and give them cheap food only. I know in India people bring their small kids in brick making factories because they are desperate.

Well it is not slavery in a traditional sense like it has been in majority of the history yes which is why I called it modern slavery....considering the options that these people have or lack there of, its not like they can kick these cheap labour jobs to the curb which is why it is considered a subtle form of slavery....even in US, some illegals are highly abused and barely paid in certain industries...I saw a documentary on it once...I think it was something about making them work in crops or berry picking for very very low wages...now yes, one might say they are illegal, they have to take what they can get but it is still a modern form of slavery in opinion...

I am serious I would like him to tell me what would he do to change things as his first step. Weather there is world order or not [HI]I arrived in the land of opportunities US now in Canada as a peasant worked hard watched my money [/HI]and I am doing fine and not slave to anyone. This land of opportunity is still the land of opportunity. Those countries he mentioned are not lands of opportunities. Bro its not rocket science you and I know what is needed in order to turn Pakistan and India into land of opportunity calling your self a slave of anyone is just a cop-out.

Yea, that's what I am saying, that is the productive cattle they want. You might be in control of your business, you think to be free but in reality you and I and majority are not. You produce for them much more and what ever you consume ends up with them(food, cellphones, cars etc). They have nothing to lose. Human desires are limitless, today you would want iphone 4, tomorrow you will want iphone 5 it goes on and on. This behavior wasn't dominant before only this era has been much infected by it. You think US and Canada are land of opportunities, it wasn't the case 200 years ago? Today its only wealthy because of centralization, it feeds from the poor countries from where it steals there natural resources+human resource (the brilliant moves to US etc) and the rest are only given enough to let them stay alive. In Pakistan, India and many countries like that people are more concerned about food for tomorrow then to make something out of their country. US and Canada aren't different from any other countries why should they have all the riches? And btw its not about countries either its about the elite 3%. In those 3% there are Saudi Sheikhs also. There is no solution because we can't be united against 3%, they control every thing, food supply, media, oil supply, etc, every thing you consume is in their control. The only solution is to wait, wait for a war, or a mighty revolution. Some day it will come In Sha Allah:)

No doubt, the rich do exploit the poor and the middle man including you and I think everything is fair....who looted Africa? Does the government bail you out first on the big corporations? Who is benefiting the most from our system? The rich or the poor? Just look at speeding tickets? The incentive is to deal a financial blow so you think twice before doing it again. If someone who is earning a minimum wage gets such a ticket, that is going to ruin their expenses for the whole month...you give a billionaire a ticket for same amount you think it has an effect? Why make things harder for the middle class if economy isn't going well instead of taxing the billionaires even more? Or are they going to bankrupt just because you taxed them a bit more? The governments are in pockets of the rich...and no, it is not a conspiracy theory...everyone loves money...rich has money and support politicians so why would their best interests be with you and not the big corporations?

Although I was looking for another video, but this video seems to have the same material.

More Videos that I think might be helpful:

To me, this particular video is really brilliant and explains every thing perfectly.

It never was any different 200 years ago. I would argue it was actually worse.

All the dogma aside, I feel conditions of a human today are far better than what they were 200 years ago, even in under-privileged nations. Ofcourse there was always extreme examples which tend to obey Pareto's Principle

Imo, its not about one particular thing, its the system which is unfair, controlled by those who rule. 200 years ago it wasn't like this, now every thing is centralized and there are only few people who are at the center. The rest are just slaves or cattle might be a better word, you, me, every one. They bought us for a price and we live happily/quietly in that price doing whatever the system tell us, profiting the only few. We can't or won't think out of our own circles. And even if some of us think beyond, that thinking is not collective. Thus resulting in the differences among ourselves keeping us away from the main goal that the rich 3% are rich unfairly and that the wealth needs to be distributed. Its bad right now, but soon it will get worse. The rich only care's about the cattle that profits them, the rest they don't give a _____

Add on that the culture of producing like... well, I wouldnt wanna call it rabbits because rabbits dont kill for the sake of killing.

Over-population only increases noise and drowns down deep thoughtful voices.

yes, slavery of the mind must be tackled first!
