This video is a simply stated plan to save the world. If implemented, it would take 10 world leaders 2 minutes to implement this. It would put an end to poverty, homelessness, disease, and war. It would also help the environment in the process. We all know that money is usually scarce and getting by can be hard, no matter what income bracket we're in. Except for about 2% of the population. This video is based on facts from many sources.

lol...love the way u give example of money w/ salt...'cause this sitch has had me salty 4 a while now...Seriously, I don't get why that 2 percent is so selfish...I hope one day the roles r switched & they have 2 suffer like those I am among. I really hope they get back what they have givein' or I should rephrase....don't get what they don't give....& have 2 deal....starve & suffer!!!

Terrible. Makes no sense and there is no factual evidence that this would help.
When this money is moved, the higher up "medium income" class people will take the majority of it, and the broke people will get nearly nothing.
2% aren't greedy, greed is inherent. They have incentive to be that rich. AND lets not forget that some of the richest people in the world are funding some of the most important developments. They have that wealth and keep most of it, but they also spend it.
Where do you fall on the list of wealth? Something to think about...-

In re: lifterbaron comment....It will be moved to the poorest. Yes, we do know that the wealthy DO invest into research and other charitable concerns. And...
"...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)-

..yup, some people quote Einsteins work, others quote others. But, a mere 1% is alot of money, but not alot for the ones that hoard most of the money and that includes corporations and governments. Most people even in the USA have a hard time making ends meet. I believe the corporations should pay more to everyone that makes them successful. (like a fair wage) Its a whole wheel that makes the tire turn, not just one spoke who gets all the credit. Then the people that can't help themselves in other countries because of environmental/climatic/disease/government/social problems and cant feed themselves can be trained to do so. They need an initial injection of money to get them going..like getting the right conditions for crops, and/or building processing plants to process what they grow and raise. Programs like that are quite successful. 1% for 5 or 10 years and then back to normal and then give people a fair share of the companies profits so everyone can live a life they should be living.
Do you have a better idea how to feed starving, and diseased people in the world? I'd love to hear it.-

Ive have a hand full of ideas.. yeah... I think the best way to start fixing the problem is looking at more than the money distribution rates across the globe. Thats obvious and helpful, but not the primary problem. When people start addressing the direct problems things will start to mend themselves.
First and foremost. There is a reason most of these people don't have the money they "need" is because they can't deal with it. Second. People need to be taught how to choose where and where not to spend there money. It is a fact that most lower class people spend uninhibitedly. Cars, jewelry, drugs, toy, games etc.. I grew up in a very poor family and know where the money that comes in goes... Slam.-

Whatever the reason, that statistic is nauseating. It is a failure of the world the we let this travesty of wealth distribution continue. At this rate capitalism may in fact consume its self. We must no longer ask for base living standards we must demand it. The most powerful thing you can do is spend your money wisely. Trust me, you can do without much longer than they can. If we follow the money we can know the truth about our living situation. They really only care enough to keep us working, making them rich so they can inflict more subtle insults on the working class. Just don't participate in their consumer games. Who are they?? You tell me.

lifterbaron, i'm pretty sure the people he is referring to aren't buying any cars or jewelry...
-
The question is whether these 6 billion humans actually produce or can produce enough goods and energy to provide a decent living for everyone.
Do you have stats about that? -
interesting.. and very true. i think this sort of goes back to what i was trying to say earlier, and that is.. are most of the people we are trying to tend to able to deal with what they will be given.
cars and jewelry..shoes and shelter...-

Simplicity is the key.
And every great idea starts with just that. An idea.
So instead of pooh pooing anything that can help, and could help considerably.
Sending out blessings of complete success to the way of the "Plan" :)
NOW let's all put it out there that the richest people on the planet hear about there next contribution and start to donate.
Peace love light and Unity all of our ways..
love
