Are there more poor people now than 200 years ago? - BBC News
One billion people across the world live in extreme poverty, struggling to survive on the equivalent of about $1 a day. The United Nations aims to lift every single one of them out of this category within 15 years.
Jesus said "There will be poor always. Pathetically struggling. Look at the good things you've got". Or was that Andrew LLoyd money bags and Tim Rice?
Sounds like a great goal. And I am all in favour of everyone getting a chance and being rewarded for their efforts.
However, if you took all the money in the world and divided it equally, after 6 months there would be super rich and pathetically poor.
What can be done?
