Originally posted by AThousandYoungI never implied that he would said we needed more money. But if everyone has it and it's distributed evenly amongst people, excluding what they presently have, then in a free market, prices can be gouged.
He didn't say make more money; he said stop spending it on troops and weapons and instead buy food for the poor (or the equipment and training they need to make their own food).
Now let's say that doesn't happen and we distribute the $3 trillion over the 6 billion people (this is an underestimate) of the world. This leaves everyone, whether they need it or not to be fair to everyone, with roughly $500 per person. Would this really make a dent on world poverty?

Originally posted by skeeterXanthos' only error is forgetting to capitalise the 'T'. I'm sure he's talking about 'Terrists', an alternative form of 'Terrans', ie those who inhabit the earth.
Jesus wept.
If I hadn't actually read it I would never have believed it. Never under value a university education and where's the Phlab when you need him.
