LOL.. No, that is not how it works. At this time we have an abundance of natural resources. More than enough for everybody to have a decent standard of living. In fact we waste more natural resources worldwide than we actually use. The poorest nations being often the biggest wasters.
The concept that all should just be instantly shared with everybody has allure for the scared and desperate. The lulling thought that you will always be taken care of. That some devine fairness will magically appear in a species which has always in the past had to work so hard to establish fairness and justice. Hate to bust your bubble but it aint going to happen. People are people and communist systems like that breed corruption even faster than other systems. Think about it this way. You have a computer, which is something the majority of the world doesn't. Should they not chop up the parts in your computer to pay for food in a nation that used to produce excess food until a corrupt Government took over and destroyed the agricultural system? Should you be responsible for the mistakes made in another nation which you personally and your nation had nothing to do with?
In reality barter/trade is the fairest system we've yet devised. Taking something away from somebody will only instill hostility and bitterness. It doesn't make the person you give it too any more wealthy. It just makes all poor. Instead of some being miserable all are miserable except for an elite core which replaces the rich with an even deeper and less challlengble elite caste. So in the end all your suggestion accomplishes if it were implimented is to remove all chance you personally have of gaining wealth. It will make life even less fair. It will make the poor poorer as redistribution is both an incentive not to produce and costs resources which means there is still less left to go around.
You want to help the poor then help them learn self sufficiency and fight corruption wherever you find it. Corruption is the main cause of poverty. It is injustice embodied. A bribed politician is the cancer of civalization.

there is a difference between resourses and being rich.
you can become rich by creating something that
others need or want..example a book like davinci code.
no resourses used there.
resourses in a geographic area should belong to
those in that area to use or sell as they seem fit.
not belong to everyone in the world.

Um, recourses have nothing to do with it. The rich are robbing the poor whatever the condition of our natural resources. Not to mention all the poor people going to war and dying for oil companies.
Also, I challenge the idea that rich people have earned their power through hard work and perserverence. Look at Paris Hilton and George Bush. Half of the people with money earned it. The other half INHERITED IT!

Why do you think you're entitled to any of it? You should have to EARN your portion of the Earth. There is no reason it should be given to you.
Get off your duff and start earning more if you don't like what you've got.
