I dislike giving homeless people money (I do it anyway), because I feel that that's why we pay for government welfare. If there was no welfare, hence lower taxes, I think I would give more money, however. I've also heard that while Europe's governments give more foreign aid, our personal donations are significantly higher. So does government redistribution of wealth hurt personal charitable contributions? Would people as a whole give more or less if there was no welfare system in place?

Quoting from Wikipedia, "On a personal level, the practical application of the Peter Principle is that it allows assessment of the potential of any given employee for a promotion to a higher rank on the basis of job performance in his or her current position. It states that members of a hierarchical organization are eventually promoted to their highest level of competence, after which further promotion raises them to a level at which they may become incompetent. Such a level is called the employee's "level of incompetence", at which the employee has a dismal or no chance at all of being promoted any farther, thus achieving the ceiling of his career growth within a given organization."
Could this be the state that we are all in both our professional and personal lives?

- For clothes that cost like $70 for a nice pair of jeans. Yet the people who worked on the clothes, and only as paid $6 bucks ( Or less. ) a week to make these clothes? I looked through my clothes and looked at their tags in the back. Most of them are made in China, Mexico, India, Indonesia, Vietnam and other 3rd world countries. Who is exploited? Who gets our money, when we pay?

This is a very crucial question. Birth rte is as high as ever, and death rate is going on a one-way trip to down below.
When will we see India as a country that is in it's 3rd stage? All the developed countries are already there, I hope this happens soon, otherwise the Population Explosion may stretch on till eve after we become a "Developed" Country.

Is military might or economic strength more vital for a nation to be a superpower?

The United States is currently "the" superpower. China is quickly making its way to being a superpower. Would China be where it is today if it had been as miliaristic as the Soviet Union or the United States. Yes, they have a huge military but they seem to do a good job of not threatening other countries. I think economic strength comes first.

The majority of the population buys a great number of things on credit. Average wages are too low to allow for the luxury paying out right. The savings of the average american are falling, if they have any savings at all.

As educated people we know the cost of living will increase, but wages will have to increase as well. Businesses must pay employees more, so they can then go out and buy their products. The cost of living is a silly argument and goes against traditional capitalist economic principals.

As it appears from this info the people really losing are the few wealthy with money in savings and no debt. Now if they are losing money, then we will lose out on investments from them? Or will the investments come from a rising middle class that was suddenly able to get out of debt due to the inflation. Furthermore could inflation solve the minimum wage debate and create a new living wage as not just those on the very bottom are effected, but those making $15/hour feel the preasure
