Billionaires and the poor. Greece and the new civilization.

Never give the power to those who seek it.

According to the UN report, 2% of the richest people in the world possess half of the 200 trillion US dollar global wealth. 50% of the poorest people in the world possess about 2% of that wealth. Just over a thousand of the billionaires contain 4.4 trillion dollar and their wealth combined with the world's millionaires is 40 trillion. That means 0.14% of the human population contains that much money. That means about 1 in 1000 people is extremely rich whilst about 30% of the world's people go to sleep very hungry every night.

According to the current economic rules in general those with lots of money can invest it to make more money by lending it with the interest rates to those who have none. Poor have to pay higher taxes and work harder just to support their basic physiological needs and pay their invisible debts. The health care, social security and public services see decrease in available funds. The quality of living worsens for the vast majority only for the sake of higher digits in the bank accounts of the very few wealthiest. The money which they don't use. The wealth which doesn't make them happy - the wealth which can spare humiliation of billions of people.

NO!
IT DOESN'T HAVE TO BE THAT WAY!!!!!!!!

If people are to open their eyes and change the world there is only one simple solution.

1 Press the governments to resign. Establish new governments made NOT of politicians and wily, insidious and greedy, but scientists and those to whom the power is proposed. Never give the power to those who seek it.

2 The new rules will look something like this: if a rich man has got over certain amount of money in his family, this money will never grow in the bank at interest rates, but it will decrease unless he will invest it or lend it. The profit will be in 90% taxable. If a rich family possesses a large fortune, 80% of it will be confiscated and spent on aid in the poorest regions in the world unless this family is actively investing or spending money in a charitable manner. Interest rates for the loans paid to the crisis stricken country can't be higher than a certain limit, say, 1% or the rate of inflation. Predominantly-confiscate percentage of wealth at exponential rate from people with fortune beginning at 1 million USD. For example people with 1 million: 2 %, 2 million: 2.5%, 100 million: 25%, 50 billion: 95% etc. Fill the budget holes with these money, invest in new technologies and research to stop environmental degradation, put an end to the poverty once and for all - globally.

This is simple. Change the government. Globally. Excite the humanity with the information that IT DOESN'T HAVE TO BE THAT WAY. Begin building better world for people, animals and environment. Sacrifice 10 million of the richest 'elite' for the happiness of the new civilization, the new harmonious order of things. Let's break the mantle of the rotten dark ages and see the light.
