World Poverty Solution: Please Pass this around..it will work!
Did you know, "...severe and extensive poverty persists while there is great and rising affluence elsewhere. The average income of the citizens of the affluent countries is about 50 times greater in purchasing power and about 200 times greater in terms of market exchange rates than that of the global poor. The latter, 2.8 people together have about 1.2% of aggregated global income, while the 903 million people of the "high income economies" together have 79.7%. Shifting merely 1% of aggregated global income--312 billion annually--from the first group to the second would eradicate severe poverty worldwide." (from World Poverty and Human Rights" by Thomas Pogge)
The above, if implemented, would not only feed the worlds hungry, but drastically cut disease, violence & crime throughout the world. This would in effect help bring peace in many nations.
Why aren't we doing this?
Please take a second to pass this to as many people as possible and ask them to do the same. This solution is quite simple and if used will have a major effect..positive effect on the whole world...
Thank you!
