Re:The worn out "theyre poor cos we're rich" ideol (Score 1)

Wealth is limitless? Fantastic! Why don't we just give some (why not lots?) to the people starving so they can go and buy some food? I have a computer because I don't have to spend all I earn on food, clothes and water. The raw materials for the things I own (including the computer) were gathered by people who do not have to be paid very much so it is economic for me to buy them. Wealth may or may not be a zero sum game, that's one for the economists, but it certainly behaves like one. Talking about wealth being 'open-ended, limitless, and not [a] zero-sum game' does not explain why people are starving and dying of thirst and will not make them feel any better.
