Thanks for all of the comments, it really opened my eyes to how the public sees my point of view. Seeing it again, I do sound very naive about the way the world works, but I definitely enjoyed the discussion of things. A very "each to his own" belief. I must learn all I can about economics. Although I find myself getting more depressed the more I learn about the state of our country's economy. Anyways, Thank you guys again.

How would you propose fixing global poverty?

[mithra4096]

Maybe poor people overseas should get a credit card and spend their entire country into hoc the way we have? Then they'd be "wealthy" also?

It's easy to feel the heartstring pulled when you see someone who is missing a leg or has an empty belly. But remember, the more the gov't gives, the less charity does. The less charity gives, the more gov't does...and the cycle continues until the gov't is the only charitable institution in America.

It is not the government's responsibility at all to help fight poverty. It is up to Individuals through volunteer work, donations, etc. We are 15 trillion dollars in debt, the highest ever in human history. When a society lives above their means, they are destined to live below their means. In the near future GLOBAL poverty won't be a problem as much as poverty in the United States in general the way things have gone in this Country. The dollar will soon see it's end.

In a Free Society, It is the individual's Responsibility to himself and his family to provide for himself and his family. It also let's individuals seek their excellence and virtue. The reason their is so much poverty is because of our central banking system and the complete lack of honest money(gold and silver). We need to get government out of our lives, let Economic and civil liberties thrive and prosperity for the masses will follow.

Individuals and corporations have the freedom to help. And we already are doing more than any other nation. But it is not our government's responsibility to take care of world poverty my dear.

We are 9 trillion in dedit, we have mass amounts of problems, our infrastructure is deteriorating. I hear that will cost around 2 trillion or in the ballpark. Strongest nation, mybe military wize but economically were not the strongest, the dollar slowly growing weaker on a daly basis. there are alot of poor here with no healthcare, going hungry on a nightly basis. i dont see how you think a third world nation will buy our made in the usa Goods, when we dont even buy our goods Wakeup USA first

That way of thinking is the reason of why there are poor people. Just need more reading. Friederich Hayek, Von Mises... She has the correct will but the wrong information.

The best thing we can do to reduce poverty is to reduce socialism in all its myriad forms. Then Cuba would be as wealthy as Florida and North Korea would be as wealthy as South Korea.
