Is it right for somebody to have a never ending income from the taxpayer without making any sort of contribution? Also would it be a good idea to penalise criminals by giving food vouchers etc in place of cash?

I got one that quoted 5% of the world’s population owns 90% of the world’s wealth, but they failed to cite their source(s). I need an actual percentage of the global population that owns “x%” amount of the global wealth. I would like it to be as current as possible. Please, also tell me the source where you got the information from, because I will be citing it in a paper I am writing.

Thanks, I really need this information. It’s really hard to find specific information regarding this issue on an internet search engine. Just try it for your self, or maybe I’m typing in the wrong “key words” for the search.

is our judgement being mislead by idealisation of govt? we have ego reasons to idealise govt: 'our govt is different, superior' [what is the good-sense, prudential-thinking likelihood of any govt being better than the usual? people are generally much the same everywhere] - also the relative decency of the people can project itself onto leaders, giving leaders a free cloak for nefarities - how awful was the catholic church? german leaders, russian leaders? what horrors, atrocities have 'civilised' nations committed - burning 1000s alive, crucifixion of 1000s, hanging people - jesus said: be as cunning as serpents, learn from the worldly, ie, dont be naive, dont let your niceness deceive you about the depth of evil, you are responsible for your govt's acts, you have a duty to examine, be real, history euphemises plunder, sanitises evil - evil hides - evil concentrates where the wealth/power is: govt [flies/flypaper] - why did the foundng fathrs think welth concentratn wd kill democracy?

Global warming may cause a global recession due to droughts, refugees, etc. Are you ready to be laid off or take a pay cut if it happens?

According to the article, every dollar spent fighting global warming saves $20 in the future; that's a pretty good return on investment. Can you think of any other investment in our economy that has such a good pay off?
