Truly it goes back to the wealth of nations. The only way to define whether a man is rich or poor is the amount of labour he is able to purchase (even packaged in a product). An hour of my time is worth 100 times that of the person who probably made my shoes. Hence I am rich he is poor.
For everyone not to be poor then by my definition I would no longer be rich.
I could join in with the lofty thoughts of equality. But in reality this is a mere interest for most. Going back to some more Adam Smith (circa 1780):
That is the reality.
So if we nuke europe i'll be richer.
