Of course, they'll always be those above the average income and those below it. But what doesn't have to be is *absolute* poverty. We've practically wipped out abosolute poverty in fully industrialized nations and through *equitable* trade practices we should at least be able to greatly reduce absolute poverty abroad.

realgrimble,A person was walking along a beach when they saw another person coming the other way bending to pick up starfish washed up by a storm the night before. The first asked the second 'Why are you bothering to throw them back into water? Do you think you are really making a difference? You can't save them all.' The second person bent to pick up another starfish and replied: 'I can make a difference for this one' and threw it back into the water, and carried on...

Its a nice idea to think 1 day the world is going to be fair and every 1 will be equal. But the reality is that it aint ever goin to happen is it. Since currency began theres always been ritch and the poor and that aint ever goin to change. Take all these organisations for example there a buissness the guys at the top are ritch asking every day joe in the street to give them money.The world has to have problems its human nature simple as that we have to be at war it always has been that way

TRADE is based on money; and for those of you who lacks knowledge of how International Trade functions you will be easily deceived into thinking that Fair Trade is the solution for poverty.They know your weaknesses.REMEMBER QUID PRO QUO is the law of how BUSINESS operates; OLIGARCHY is the perfect way to control TRADES; The media permits NGO &QUANGO to PROSELYTISE corporate psychopath doctrines... If You really want to help the poor, then TELL THE RICH TO REMOVE THE TRADE PROTECTION TARIFFS.
