- SixSigma 11y agoLike Kim Il Jong eating while his people starve, I guess that's the same fallacy
- nivla 11y agoThat is not the same fallacy. That is one person who controls the nation sitting on an immense amount of wealth while his people starve. India doesn't have a huge wealth tucked under its bed that it refuses to redistribute to its citizens. Let me put this into perspective for you, even distributing 1 billion dollars to its citizens barely makes each person richer by only a dollar!
- SixSigma 11y agoThanks for the perspective, I feel so stupid. I'm sure spending $1bn on clean water and sewage in the some of the most populous cities on earth would be equally pointless.
