The hundred richest people of each country should form a group to systematically and effectively remove poverty in their nation.

Do you think extreme poverty is being removed by creating jobs? What kind of jobs do they create for people living in extreme poverty? If that is how it goes....it will take hundred more years to see poverty free India.

You know what... till 1991, that is not how it went in India. Till 1991, we had those ridiculous PSUs which made everything from wrist watches to toilet paper. And what we got in return? The "Hindu rate of growth" (quite an irony given the secular credentials of the Congress).

If India has achieved anything in recent years, it is because of those "capitalist pigs".

All major Asian economies, except India, have been able to pull themselves out of poverty. And if India is home to the world's largest poor population, blame it on the socialist policies of Nehru and Indira Gandhi which prevailed for more than two decades... not the capitalist policies which India has since 2000.

Are talking about growth rate here? No need to come to defense of the rich elites, I only floated a suggestion.

Defending capitalism is not the defense of the "rich elites".

Okey, let us hear from you..........how can we eliminate "extreme poverity" from earth other than giving them job?

 

[Valiant_Soul]

Defending capitalism is not the defense of the "rich elites".

Why would you do that? Did I say I have any issues with that? All I did was suggest that some more direct and effective measures would be great from a herd of rich sheeps, because for people living n extreme poverty, each day is a fight for survival and so more direct and immediate intervention is required.

Eventually, you have to give them job. But before that do also invest a little in them so that they first can start living like humans? How exactly, would they do that is totally dependent on them, and that is another discussion.

What do you do when you see a hungry child? Offer him a job?

And that is where the government comes in. Social welfare policies is the job of the government, not of the "herd of the rich sheeps".

One can't expect rich people to go around giving food to people on a daily basis. The only effective way to reduce poverty on a long term basis is to create jobs. That is the only way rich citizens of the country can really help the poor people. And as I said before, social welfare policies is the responsibility of the government, not of the rich people. Even if rich people do help in this regard is not a long-term solution.
