Global Poverty Will End Soon

Posted by: Don Atkinson on 19 January 2013

Global poverty will end soon if only the 100 wealthiest people hand over 25% of their wealth.

 

Is that too much to ask?

 

Or should we ask the next 900 to contribute as well reducing the overall average donation to say 10%.

 

Let’s just politely ignore the potential for corruption down the line as leaders of some of the recipient countries syphon off their “administrative” costs etc etc.

 

My first question is – “which three members of the Naim Forum are in this 100 rich list ?”

 

Cheers

Does that include the administrative costs?
