Thinktank wrote:Total debts amassed by the world's poorest countries shot up from $25bn in 1970 to $523bn in 2002, resulting in endless misery and widespread poverty as many of these economies spiralled out of control.
In 1970, Africa's proportion of the total stood at less than $11bn, not even half the total owed by poor nations. By 2002, that had risen to well above half, or $295bn.
But despite the cash injections provided by the loans, no indebted African country has sincerely prospered.
And yet Africa is in massive debt and poverty because the west love to give massive loans to dictators who then invest that money back into the western banking system or their own personal gratification.
The .1%-ers and billionaires are really interested in helping the poor
You are referencing government to government issues. It has nothing to do with your little hatred of billionaires.
And what have you done to help them?
Again, how much time or money have you donated to the poor limbless bomb casualties in Laos?

How did you know I hate billionaires?
I heard George Soros invested $5 billion to create chaos in Ukraine.
Remember the protests in Kiev? They said snipers on the top of one of
the buildings were shooting police and shooting protesters at the same time.
Now that's an amazing way to create chaos.
I wonder if a billionaire ever sold weapons to both sides during a war before?

It would have nothing to do with you mentioning it in every second post!
I got Married because I was sick and tired of finishing my own sentences.
That's worked out great for me!

Because you have made it clear.
I bet you wonder that.
So, once again, how much time or money do YOU donate to solving the issue in Laos that you think others should be donating to?

It is well documented that Milo Minderbinder sold weapons to both sides.

Re: Just Who Are The 1%ers?
With growing inequality and the civil unrest from Ferguson and the Occupy protests fresh in people’s mind, the world’s super rich are already preparing for the consequences. At a packed session in Davos, former hedge fund director Robert Johnson revealed that worried hedge fund managers were already planning their escapes. “I know hedge fund managers all over the world who are buying airstrips and farms in places like New Zealand because they think they need a getaway,” he said.

Proper saving and the right investments, it doesn't take much to become a 1%

This thread wrote:47m people - everyone with wealth of $798,000 (£530,000) or more
So who is the 1%? There's a big difference between having $800,000 ( a very big house) assets
and earning $350,000 per year.

Hear that everyone? It's your fault you're not 1%. You bought pizza too foten instead of saving your money.
You are bad. You should have invested and you would be earning $350,000. You should have learned
to earn ore money instead of working hard.

Of course it is up to the individual.
As you said, if you buy pizza too foten, you will never earn ore money.
Everyone knows that less foten pizza brings more ore. Is nice.

Hey poor people:
- Take your cardboard to be recycled
- don't use too much hot water
- always look for 2 for 1 coupons
- buy the cheapest food you can get
So the rich buggers can buy $645,000 Rolls Royces, take $4 trillion of tax dollars
to make expensive wars (based on lies) and watch sporting events from skyboxes
that cost $hundreds of thousands per year (paid by taxpayers - tax write offs as entertainment)
And then we tell the poor guy he never saved his money enough.

Re: Just Who Are The 1%ers?
One percent is a buzzword that got out of hand. Everyone with two cents to rub together is a 1 percenter(?) now.
This was the original spec.
Top 1 percent in the US:
Avg Annual Income:$1,318,200
Avg Household Net Worth: $16,439,400
Avg Non-Household Financial Wealth: $15,171,600
Sure, technically there are more in top 1% if you include the entire planet but relative to their country they aren't very influential.

Re: Just Who Are The 1%ers?
The odds were stacked against the poor guy from day one.
Crooked laws that allow big corporations to get free money - corporate welfare.
And then 1%-ers say - "It's your fault you're poor"
lol
