When capitalism first begins it may look good but this is its reality
Capitolism requires--growth to work correctly for business-- like this
200 years--prices double
100 years prices double
50 years prices double
25 years prices double
12 years prices double
6 years( we are here) prices double= devastation for many
3 years= doom.
the allready ultra wealthy--keep on sucking every dime they can get out of the worlds economies. Making more and more poor.
In the USA--the top richest 20 have more than the bottom 150 million--- this is caused from sick hearts. And yet, keep on taking more daily.
Economic illiteracy on full display.
must be yours then.
No, the illiteracy is yours.
Your posts try and equate everyone who is not part of the top 1% with poverty. That is simply not true.
About 14.5% of teh people in the US live at or below the poverty line. 1% have more than everyone else combined.
So 84.5% of the population is making a living. A decent portion of those are doing quite well.
Just because someone is not part of the very top level, does not mean they are suffering. If you look at the upscale neighborhoods in most cities, most of those families are not part of the very top level. But they are doing well.
I am 55 years old. I have worked in several different fields. I have a retirement account, a home, 2 cars and plenty of food & drink. I am having a great time living my life. I take at least one vacation a year (sometimes more). I have plenty of friends who are basically in the same shape.
Sorry to bust your bubble, but plenty of people are quite happy, despite not being in the top 1%. Perhaps if you worried about improving your own situation and stopped worrying about what someone else has, you could be happy with your life.
84.5% is not enough--100% should be the #
I am not concerned with those who do have, its the ones on the bottom because of the ones on the top my concern is for.
Your concern seems at odd with your Christian pretenses.
My theology is fairly weak, but even I know that Christianity is not concerned with the earthly well being so much as being ready for the next one.
Having 100% above the poverty line is NOT a goal of a standard traditional Christian.
Are you a Liberation THeologist?
A pray-er for Gods kingdom to come. I am not concerned for me--its the ones who have nothing while someone who has 38 billion and keeps on sucking more out of the economy daily.
