When will the distribution of wealth meet the needs of assisted-income families?

We know that most of the money on Earth is managed by people 'in better positions than us'. 'People that are more qualified'.

I don't doubt that.

What I do doubt is the transparency of their transactions. Who's to say they won't do what the old Giants and Monopolies did in the past? We need to establish a neutral infrastructure, sort of like the United Nations but, on a business level.

What better way to mitigate the resources of the overabundant, than to insure the prosperity of those now in need?

    Apr 1 2011: People will always covet what they don't have. Communism, Marxism, etc. won't work because there will always be those with more. The "intelligent" will always use the lesser for labor. You can't kill them off due to the fact it will disable you in regards to the rest of the world. Those in power want to stay there; they get more "stuff" that way. The poor can always be motivated by food and basic necessities. These can be thrown out to them by the ruling power to control them. The mob is easily directed by these techniques...

    "Assisted income" plans don't work either. They give people just enough to calm down and wait their life away. The older they get, the less likely they are to rise up. My .02

    Apr 1 2011: End the monetary system and economical system...there ain't nothing economical about it. We don't need money anymore when we realize that we can have abundant resources and energy. Money is the biggest lie in history and your first sentence clearly proves my point Charles.

      Apr 1 2011: Ending capitalism, ending democracy, it sounds bad like that. I think we need to evolve it. Upgrade it. I'm not sure where it will lead, hopefully somewhere brilliant, but I've got my foot in the door right now...
