Annual income of richest 100 people enough to end global poverty four times over

[aquart]

10. Welcome to DU. May your mind open like a flower.

Here's a first point to ponder: Does poverty increase when the tax code is altered to encourage the export of factories and jobs overseas? Such alteration increases the wealth of the rich and makes beggars of hardworking people who never put a foot wrong but whom so many feel entitled to sneer at. You, for instance.

Why do you feel entitled to sneer at a man who lost his family-supporting job because greedy bastards prefer to pay Chinese workers pennies instead of dollars? And then pocket the difference NEVER creating a job here with that profit?

Do you feel happier knowing your clothes are now made in factories which can cave in at any moment? BECAUSE BANGLADESH HAS NO UNIONS, NO OSHA, NO INSPECTORS AND NO HOPE.

Sleep well.
