This particular entry is focusing on a huge thorn in the side of the "big picture". I will elaborate on the "big picture" in future posts.
The World's Billionaires
No-one should have a fortune worth $1 billion much less $62 billion. That's what's wrong with capitalism. It encourages greed. One of the Seven Deadly Sins. That's why I strongly feel that capitalism will eventually lead to our demise.
We need to start from the ground up and build a society that is more interested in giving than receiving. We need to give incentives for people to give more rather than horde wealth. Those that are more fortunate need to support those who are less fortunate. Why? Because it's the right thing to do. Help others. The need of the many far outweighs the need of the few or the one. You want a real chance at peace on Earth? Make it so that there isn't such a huge disparity in income levels. There should not be a division of classes. Not if we are truly equal. It isn't religion so much that breeds depravity. It's the huge disparity between the wealthiest of people and the poorest of people.
Be sure to read part 2!
