Top Ten Richest Peoples on Earth

[xebex]

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.

I know what you talking about. Investing money to wipe out poverity is Government's job and its an option for rich entrepreneur. Its upto the guy to decide wether he want to donate for poverity erasing projects, if he dont, u cant blame them either can you? BUT its government's reponsibility to do the task you just mentioned. Infact, if government were to invest money on public, where does this money comes from?? form thin air?? noope. But on a side note, i want to give you a link for one of those India's business man.......check it out, and I can give you more like this.

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 to reduce poverty 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.

Can you understand the term "systematic way" of eliminating poverty? I already said that eventually you have to give them jobs, but before that you can help them become capable of doing those jobs. Else you can sleep tight in your comfortable home and let's just leave everything to the government. So what it takes them hundred more years, let the poor suffer while you enjoy high-end comforts.

NO.......offer his/her parent a JOB.

Oh! What kind of job do you offer to a person who is not even as good as a kid in nursery in education? Buddy, I am talking about people living in extreme poverty.

Buddy, I think its time for you to seriously consider Post# 12.

And how do you make them "capable" for doing those jobs? Do you want rich people to liquidate their assets and start building schools and colleges that provide free education? No! The responsibility of the rich people is to pay their due taxes so that they can enable the government to initiate welfare schemes such as education and healthcare. Building the basics of the society is the job of the government.

It is matter of common-sense that a nation cannot eradicate poverty in a sustainable way if it relies on charity by rich people. You are not talking eliminating poverty is a "systematic way", you are only talking about eliminating poverty tonight and forgetting about what happens tomorrow.

To end, I would like to point out, India's failure to eradicate poverty is because of the collective failure of India's political-socio-economic setup, and not just because of rich people "enjoying their high-end comforts".

Hence, I suggest you consider post no 14.

Am I talking about relying on charity? I think I am having a conversation with high-school student. I am talking about using the wealth where it is most urgently required. Is that hard to understand? I am talking about using a small percentage of wealth that these people have to do the needful to the needy where the government, for some reason or another, is not able to do anything.

I think you do not realize how much their direct intervention would drastically begin a change - a cascading effect of development.

Buddy! I do believe that in India there is a huge gap between rich and poor. But the question is, WHY?

For me, we are the culprits. We are not aware. We, the people of India, choose the govt. which dances on the tunes of these capitalists. Then we cry 'rich are becoming richer and poor are becoming poorer.

we jump a traffic signal, and then we pay bribe to the traffic police in order to avoid the hefty fine. At the end of the day, we cry Corruption is increasing.

There are several public schools in India (I know about several public schools in NCR region) get land on extremely low rates to open school by agreeing that they will provide education to poor, but they don’t. At the end of the day, we cry Illiteracy in poor section.

List goes on and we keep crying.

Agree with xebex or not but these capitalist are providing more jobs than the GoI

To inform you in plain language - that is not what I am talking about.

To end, I would like to point out, India's failure to eradicate poverty is because of the collective failure of India's political-socio-economic setup, and not just because of rich people "enjoying their high-end comforts".

Good to see, you count that as a factor as well.

"I am talking about using a small percentage of wealth that these people have to do the needful to the needy"

Charity - definition -- Provision of help or relief to the poor;

Dude, you are talking about charity.

And just to note, if you cannot argue in a decent, civilized manner and have indulge in lame remarks to prove your point, then I guess I'm out of this thread. Enjoy!

Would read before making conclusions? Where do I have denied that?

 

[Ingis]

Valiant, obviously if the rich people were a bit more generous, things would have been better. But then still, you are talking about very short term measures.

Do you have any suggestions on this. However, I think GoI is providing funds which are not utilized properly because the money is diverted towards the swiss banks.

Hope you get my point
