Thread Name: BS: What's wrong in the USA
Subject: RE: BS: What's wrong in the USA
Interesting notion, but I think $100,000 isn't a small enough ceiling. Actually, huge companies wouldn't be such a problem if there were a consistent set of rules around the world to regulate their behaviour, but there are not. So they have found a way to simply circumvent national governments, and move the money wherever they want to...that is the problem. The world is in a state of societal anarchy, much like the Wild West was before statehood. He with the most guns runs the show. That situation could be changed, but not without genuine community action between nations, a desire to seek equality, and a sense of one world, not many. In other words...run the world the way a single democratic nation is now run...with a consistent set of laws and structures to implement those laws.

"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal" Practice what your founding fathers preached and much can be done. Those who are "created equal" deserve an equal start in life and an equal chance, no matter where they are born.
