Would the world be better without poor people? Apparently if you divided the worlds wealth equally everyone would get $3 milion. But what would happen, would that mean everyone is poor? Would it mean everyone is rich? If everyone has the equal amount of wealth what would happen?
 

thats an interesting question.
probably, if everyone had the same amount of money, it would make things worse. no one would have the motivation to do the tougher jobs. stuff wouldnt get done.
plus it'd be like a communist/marxist regime.
that stuff aint cool

There would me no reason for people to provide a service of any kind if people had enough money.

Free enterprise would die

What are the tough jobs? I'd suggest being up at dawn to collect garbage is pretty tough. Perhaps you mean "tough" as in mmm, neuro surgery? Or Commercial Law? I think that these kind of jobs are taken on because of their inherent interest.

Oh and Communist / Marxist ... so much worse than a right wing junta such as .......... fill in the blank with any one of a hundred options.

It wouldn't work.. we'll not in a capitalist society that foe sure - everyone would be self sufficient - so what would motivate people to work - no workers - no industries - nothing for consumers to buy - no use for money - system failure !!!

(sounds like the lyrics to a Radiohead song :))
 
It does make me chuckle when people bash industry so, like somehow they pine for the days when they'd have to grow their own food, the majority of their kids would die before adulthood and general life expectancy was around 45. Happy days. Some folks really don't know just how good they have it.
