It's true that we are obscenely rich compared to the truly poor on other continents. Globally speaking, anyone who eats once a day is extremely lucky. It makes me smile to see articles about 'below the poverty line' here in UK. Nobody is poor here. And sadly, the terrible poverty I've seen in Africa is the result of greedy rich people, corrupt to the bone, who feed off the poor like vampires. They certainly do NOT deserve their wealth. I've seen at the roadside (in central Dakar, Senegal) two babies lying on a mat beside their mother, all three emaciated and obviously dying, while wealthy Senegalese businessmen covered in bling drive past in chauffeur-driven limos, apparently blind to their predicament. That happens all the time in many African countries. Wealth should be shared to 'help the poor struggler'. (And don't say those African businessmen aren't corrupt, because they all are. That's how they got rich.)It haunts me, it really does.
