  4. It's not their responsibility to do so? I think it is. For the better of mankind. If they don't do it who will? Is there anyone else out there that has a genie lamp? How is the world ever going to change if we continue to have greedy people? It'snot about what's in your wallet, it about what you can and have done to better our human condition. It's about the love a joy people bring to their neighbors and strange not to mention friends and family. We are born into work work work with not much to show for it and the ones that have all the money still can't show for their success. Oh look top of the line brand new $5,000,000 car that they may only drive a few times in their lifetime. Woopty do da. That's not worth anything. You can't cure diseases with that. You can't explore space or make the world a better place as far as renewable resources with that. Oh you think you look pretty cool don't you? To me you look like a fool. If they are not the ones to make the world a better place because they can, then the world will suffer through a devastating change. The sad thing is.... not much would change. Just the population.

    1. Well, all good and legit - But how many are pleading poverty, because they are to damn lazy to work and just want to milk the system. Some of those people worked hard to get there. They don't owe anybody anything!

    2. A few, but not really that many.

  6. I'm glad i don't understand why people still think it's not their responsability!!! Those who are rich have more love for money than people, but when they have a disease without cure then probably they'll learn that money doesn't buy the cure...For me they're already very sick, so sick they don't realise that!And we are all going to die, i will die happier knowing i helped others, without being rich!!!

    1. What do the rich do. If the 'rich' didn't have the likes of us they wouldn't be rich. We make them rich, we add value. If we refused to work, how would they create value when money in and of itself can't do anything, money can't work machinery, or buy stuff make food, manufacture cars. What can money physically do?

  8. Well let's see, I really don't think that its the 100 richest people in the world's fault that we have poverty. I blame the government for not being efficient enough to solve the global depression in the first place.

  9. Its time we moved on from economic slavery, and take money out of the equation, by creating a production and distribution network that gives all people free access to; food, healthcare, education , transportation and communication. Help create a world to be proud of, sign the free world charter, and get involved with the many groups that support an end to the monetary system.

  10. if they change anything than the world wouldn't function any more the way it has. rich people wouldn't control the rest of us and money would loose its purpose. all of this would be great if only... if only our consciousness was higher. no it is not responsibility of rich people. it is responsibility of all of us because we are responsible for having colective minds that created this unhealthy world to begin with and anyone who says otherwise is just a pure ignorant

  11. The 100 Richest People in the world could end world poverty, but they choose not to.

    The rest of us could stop supporting the 100 Richest people, but we choose not to.

  12. In a society, it is not their responsibility, its their duty as americans, as human beings, as equals under the constitution...if all are happy full, and healthy then so will be society...it is their duty to help better the society they live in and their country...
