Would this not make life easyer for poor people and rich people less greedy. We would all be equal. The plan them would be that everyone works as hard or becomes as lazy as each other.

Answer 1

well, there's no such thing as equal money value among all nations. Even long time ago, If that would happen, the economic purpose will be defeated knowing the mere fact about global rat race economy situation among developed, developing, and the underdeveloped countries. But if that will fortunately be happening, maybe that's the truth of going back to basic. People would disregard progress and connection with other neighboring countries, for they can't feel the need of wanting more. As what I've stated, the economic struggle would be defeated because there's no point of implementing import- export system. Besides, they can also have whatever other foreigner may have because all are just the same.

Answer 2

Who would be giving this money? Taking from the rich to give to the poor? Doubt it. The money would probably come from us hard working slobs in the dwindling middle class. Rich people have always been and will always be greedy. This is how they got (stay) rich.

Answer 3

The same people who are wealthy would become wealthy again in a matter of months.

Most who are poor now would become poor again.
You can't "give" enough to solve poverty. It takes education and motivation.
Many politicians, in many countries, do not want to accomplish that, as educated voters would see through them and they would not be voted into office. By promising handouts, they rob Peter to pay Paul.
They can always depend on the support of Paul.

Answer 4

Poor people would spend their share in about a month.
