Is equal distribution of wealth possible? it can answer bono's question which ask if poverty can be history...

Question

I personally think if god didnt make equal distribution of brain, mind, physical strength than how equal distribution of wealth is possible, which is totally man made? its like if at start, there were 2 humans with $100 each but as they have different brains, bodies, mental strenghts so the wealth changed hand from weaker to stronger and ultimately unequal distribution of wealth and poverty at the end!!!!

Answer 1

Easy. End Minority Rule. As long as we believe in Minority Rule and the mass programs of mis-information that are created, there can never be equality.

There can be no balance when an elite few inherit the work of others.

Rich people complain they must give to the poor though taxes, yet have no problem giving to the poorest of the poor, their own brood. Your children did not earn a dime, yet charity to them is somehow sacred?

Answer 2

I think people think of this question wrong. There is no limit to wealth. I don't just think money is wealth. It is a part but not all. So let's go with your therory that there is only 2 people and $100 each. What if one farmed garden type food and was industrious and had tons of food. The other kept anmials and they were were going to trade and share but 1 was lazy and wasn't as productive. so the 1st would have more wealth. I think we need to look at the world as abundant work hard and be loving with what we have. I know If I was #1 I would not let #2 starve but I wouldn't just give him 1/2, would that be just? And if I was #2 I would be gratefull that with what happened with my product that I didn't starve to death. And I would do better next time.
I think our responsibility to other human beings is not to make everything exactly equal but to encourage others to be the best in everything they can be and help out along the way.

Answer 3

Yes and no. Theoretically it's possible, but in practical application in today's world, I don't think so. I think for equal distribution of wealth to occur then every person needs to be completely charitable and industrious. In a society where everyone wanted to help his neighbor and no one was lazy, but everyone worked hard, then everyone's contributions to society would have equal worth, doctors would contribute the same as brick layers b/c each would be working hard to do the best possible job, the doctors would heal people's bodies and the brick layers would build them shelters and they would be equally worthy and could receive the same pay. People wouldn't waste their money, they would only spend it on what they need and if someone needed more money then they had, then people would be willing to help. But, only if each person feels that way, would that work. The government can't compel you to love your neighbor or to take pride in your work. It can only compel you to give up all your money and to go to work everyday. And we've all seen how communism has turned out. In our society today, many people are selfish, and many people are lazy, so the wealth is distibuted unequally. But, I don't think that's really a bad thing. It's OK for some people to have more money than others, the problem arises when the lowest class doesn't have enough money to survive on. We do need to do what we can to fix that problem, whatever we feel is the best course of action for that.

Answer 4

No, it's not possible. If you attempt it, and it has been attempted, two things happen. You remove all motiviation for people to accumulate wealth. What's the point if it's all going to be taken away? Without that motivation, nothing of significance would get done. Why work? Why not just sit at home and wait for your equal share?

Two, humans corrupt every ideal. So people will scheme, cheat, and steal to get a bigger piece of the pie than others.

Communism (equal distribution of wealth) has failed every time it has been tried. Capitalism, self-determination, and liberty never fails.

Answer 5

If it were possible, Communisim would have worked, and there would be no gov't regulation needed to maintain it.
As long as there is greed in the world, people will find a way to capitalize on any situation. Eventually, wealth would become unequal again.

Answer 6

Of course it is possible, just give all resources to everyone equally. The problem is that all the resources divided by all the people equally would mean the EVERYBODY would live in poverty. There are simply too many people for the amount of resources available. (or too little resources for the population) The elimination of poverty requires almost infinite resources.

Answer 7

"Equal distribution of wealth" means that the government must take MY hard-earned money and give it to people who did nothing to earn it or deserve it. It encourages laziness because who wants to bother going to work if they know they'll be given handouts? If I wish to GIVE my money to the poor out of compassion, that's one thing, but nobody should be permitted to force me, or anyone else, to give up our wealth just so others can go on being lazy. Ultimately, they remain poor because they never learn how to do anything for themselves. We already have welfare systems that are backfiring for that very reason.

Answer 8

It's not possible in this world. Its cursed and fallen.

There will always be people who will take advantage or try to take advantage of others. Evening out the wealth just takes out peoples drive to succeed and create.

Would Bono care to give his music out for free or live at a 30,000 dollars a year year income. I doubt it.

Answer 9

about an same i wager, even if that's fullyyt posting a stupid Q or A. yet asking is extra complicated in case you choose to choose the finest answer. I purely confer with P/S. ( in different diverse kinds, answering will be tougher, as you want to carry close the answer, or study an situation)

Answer 10

"All men are created equal" is a myth, yet some cling to it as if the statement were breathed by a god.
