i think that is speaking about countries. the top 20% percent of countries own most of the wealth, 80% of the countries are living in poverty.

Some people deserve more money than others simply because they are intellectually and/or physically capable of earning more. They live in places that offer the right opportunities to match their skill set. They also have the right political structure to exploit. Equal distribution of money to those who deserve and those who don't will create an imbalance to begin with. Ultimately, redistribution will occur such that the unworthy will end up with less or no money, and worthy will end up with more. But this type of redistribution will give worthy people in under developed states a chance to exploit the system and become rich. The competition will be more and in general and the world economics will change drastically.

Now pass me that bag of marshmallows damnit!
hahahaha
awesome.
