Don't let the world go unexamined. A is not poor because B has a
savings account (eventho' a just economy might reduce the perceived
need to save). A is poor from not receiving a fair share of society's
surplus. The solution lies not in individuals saving less - which in
America is fast approaching negative and getting us not further from
but closer to destitution - but in society sharing its surplus, its
"savings". Do that by rerouting all the money we spend on the nature we
use and on the privileges we allow some to hold. Charge full value for
government paper - from land titles to corporate charters - and use
those trillions to pay ourselves Citizens Dividends. Bye, bye,
destitution.
