Bill Gates is the Richest man in the world at 40 billion.
If we divide his weath equally each person in the world would get $666.00 (gee, thats 666, the mark of the beast)
If we divided the ENTIRE worlds weath EACH person on EARTH would have to learn to live on under $8,000 a year.
You have to pay rent, buy food, get a car, get an Xbox with that measly amount.
There is no lottery and it don't matter if you're a Brain Surgeon who went to school for 24 years or a ditch digger who went to school for 9 years, you make the SAME MONEY.
What's the incentive to run a company of 200,000 people and make it successful if you make the same money as someone who just puts a part into the thing your company makes!
Why are YOU beating your head against a wall to make your product work good when all you make $8,000 a year, the same as someone putting a resistor on a board.
Oh and by the way, the Job market is filled in the US so we must MOVE YOU to AFRICA where your skills are more needed and you have to LIKE IT.
We'll pick you up in the morning, send you on whatever plane is available to the Congo and dump you into a local hut or apartment whre someone will contact you about your work load.
Like it or not, that's Communism, which is what you are advocating.
The NEEDS of the PEOPLE come over YOUR NEEDS/
We need you in Africa, Syria, Nome Alaksa. YOu have NO say, the billions in the world are more important than YOU.

It is said our spirits choose what kind of life they will live before
they come here. Some live very difficult lives to make up for
things their spirits did in past lives.
Jesus said Elijah lived again as John the Baptist. And Revelation
says John the Divine was told he would have to prophesy again before nations and kings. As well as there will be two witnesses who live again. I feel it will be Moses and Elijah, since they were with Christ at the Transfiguration on the mountian.
It's because some choose to enter a handicapped body that
even the faithful cannot heal them. Or why no matter how hard
try to help, some will still live on the streets.
But doesn't mean we should stop trying.

God helps those than help themselves. Even iditiot Christians know that.
The real difference, in America anyway, is that some people are stupid, some are lazy, some are tramatized, some are just unlucky.
You can get rich by luck, being born into it, but I'd imagine most middle-class had/have to work there asses off to get where they are just to maintain a house, car and TV set.

If you divided all the wealth in the world equally and distributed it amongst all the people in the world, I bet in one years time the former rich would be rich again and the former poor would be poor. Why? Productive behavior vs. destructive behavior.

god doesnt actually decide that because god has given us free will. the problem is there is actually enough food and water and basic life necessities to share with everyone and still have plenty left over. however the greedy are the issue here because they do not want to share their wealth believing that they have earned it so really god doesnt literally control the flow of wealth and poverty humanity does. if we didnt control such aspects of our lives it wouldnt really be free will

Watch out; some people will just call you a commie for asking this question.
I personally don't agree with you. Sure, many people don't deserve to be poor, but there are many people out there who are just, for lack of a better word, lazy. They could apply themselves to something and rise in economic status, but they don't. Why should they get a free ride?

I'm sharing the same ideas with you, but for me I think it's better to find a way to be rich rather than asking questions which will not help at all, try to be rich, good luck

Why do you say that God is the one who decides who is homeless or rich? Its that word free will, again.

It's not god, but the people who people believe they are rich or poor.
