    I don't label anyone. I would expect the same in return.

    Governments can change what ever they want when it suits them, the President is only the face cobber & does as he is told by the real powers the bankers, I see you believe that every one has the chance to be filthy rich in theory they can in practice only a small number ever do, so don,t hold your breath cobber.

    Yeah, I make in the neighborhood of 60k a year, so I must live a terrible life. I must live a terrible life because I'm not driving a 200,000 dollar car and I don't live in Beverly Hills. I have a news flash for you: the happiest people in life aren't the ones that have the best of everything. The happiest people in life are the ones that make the best of what they have.

    If you say the bankers have power in government, I want proof and not a conspiracy theory. Also, this conversation is now straying too far off topic.

    I can only speak about the Government of my Country, I am retired now since 2007 I worked & saved & am now on the old age pension, I receive $708 nz per fortnight to live on I owe no one, I have no debts other than my usual power,gas,phone each month, my car is a 02 Nissan Maxima & like I have said I am not greedy &I don,t have many material things in my life but I have 3 sons & 1 daughter & 4 beautiful grand kids I don,t needs lots of money, I am pretty much happy in my life & only have 1 regret, I just can,t see how people like you sit & do nothing or say nothing when thousands of people have no food but we can still find billions to spend on sending troops all over the world, when a few have all & millions have nothing, maybe I have a heart & conscience were so many others don,t.
    I am lucky though I am getting near the end of this life & only hope the next step is better than the last, I just feel sorry for my grand kids leaving them such an awful world

    World hunger is NEVER going to get solved. You're living in fantasy if you think it will. The Kardashev scale....... Read into it.

    Also, if you think the person flipping burgers at MdDonalds is worth 50/hr, try telling a customer that the Big Mac they bought last week for 4 dollars is now 20. If you think a flight attendant is worth the same as a airliners CEO, tell the customer that the plane ticket that before was $500 is now $5000. That customer will walk out the door. As I said and this holds true for every company, supply meets the demand. Supply doesn't create the demand. Yet you wonder why so many companies are moving overseas for cheap labor.

    Your world/life revolves around money so as long as your arse points to the ground you would never understand my point, good night sleep well if you can.

    The flight attendant isnt worth the same as the CEO,the CEO is worth the same as the flight attendant. Yes there is a difference. CEOs are over paid bloat on a company that take more credit for the operation than they give to anyone else in that company.

    So do you want humans to live like animals then? Living off the land like our ancestors did? What do you think will happen when the resources of that land run out? That is the problem many nations in Africa are currently facing. No resources = no infrastructure. The Kardashev scale.... I won't be here all day.

    Are you an Africa expert? I spent 7 1/2 years in Sierra Leone. The people there are happy with the farm to live life. What makes you think they want to live like us?
    I like all dogs I meet, and some people too.
