Extreme wealth and extreme poverty or a reasonable standard of living for all?
If you would give up your wealth, please say why you would.
If you wouldn’t, please say why you wouldn’t.

I don’t have any, so wealth isn’t particularly valuable to me at this point, but I don’t care about money, if I were wealthy, yes, I would give it up so that no parents ever had to watch thier children die of starvation. I would want people to treat me the way I want to be treated and if I were living in poverty and devastating conditions like watching my loved ones die, I would want anyone anywhere to do anything they could to help me, so I would give up wealth in a second so there was no more poverty, what an easy trade, anyone who wouldn’t is selfish and doesn’t care if people die at the expense of their extravagant homes and jewelry. “I worked hard for this so I don’t care if people are dying, I WANT to have it while they only NEED FOOD TO LIVE” yeah, that’s pretty fucking stupid.
if everyone had the same things, same costs, same everything. yes I would. Maby there would be less stealing for what you don’t have. Less sick.Less pain. Jealousy comes from someone having more of something than someone else.
i cant believe at 11 at night im answering these polls.LOL
No I would not. I will keep doing what I am doing- working very hard for every penny that I make and donating what I can- money, time, outgrown clothes, supplies and what ever else I can to those less fortunate that I choose to donate to.
I live in a lower middle class area and have MANY neighbors that don’t work and live off the welfare system- and have admitted to me they keep having babies to get more money! They find ways to get their utilities, food and rent or mortgage at reduced rates, and health care also. And they are physically able to work.
Maybe it is wrong of me to have this attitude, but being a single mother of 4 kids that works very hard to keep a roof over our heads and food in our bellies while keeping my children safe and in school and having never accepted public assistance because I feel it is for the truly less fortunate or those that need help for a short while to get on their feet……..I guess I would have a hard time living in a sharing society with those that just don’t want to work!
