Are the .1% are shooting themselves in the foot by hording?

What do they believe? What do you think? Talk about religion as it exists today.

Are the .1% are shooting themselves in the foot by hording?

Presently, the rich preside over a demographic pyramid that is top shaped and de-stabled.

Ironically, because the rich have put themselves so far from the base, they themselves have become the most unstable part of the pyramid. This is not good for the rich.

Trickle down, an economic concept which is what we all live in, if increased would remedy the stability problem.

With the world below being de-stabilized by the rich, due to their distance from the bottom, and the rich knowing the benefits of stability, would be well advised to lower its demographic position and bring profits to the whole demography.

To the rich, with profits to all being possible, I would ask, what are you waiting for?

Like Africa says. Keep your gifts and grants. Trade is what we want.

LOL - so are rich people to do whatever the hell they want with their stuff or not? Make up your mind.

What is this "Trade" and how is it different from the trading that already exists?

I cannot say it or show it better than this link.

The bottom line is that if you give me charity, it is soon used and nothing is left. If you trade with me, I can sustain that trade.

So you want to increase trade? Splendid. How?

How do I choose between Asian / European / South American / African / etc. products? And in what way does this kind of choice increase trade?
