1 million people live on less than $1.25 a day; they’re called the bottom billion. 1 billion above that live on little less than $2. 12,000 children starve every day – which is 1 every 4 seconds. The advanced democracies could easily eradicate deep poverty within 10 years years.

I never knew that ... You are right ... If this poverty could be eradicated ... why not? ... I guess many would rather put their money into ... the defense industry ... or ... tax cuts ... However, these poor people may at some point require billions in military intervention!

Why don’t we reach down and lift a brother up! Those who have so much.. how can you not see those who don’t! It must be the plank in your eye blinding you to the fact that what you do or don’t do for your brother you do or don’t do for yourself. Golden Rule must reign! Love wins

A few of the ''Billionaires'' that are hoarding it could eliminate world hunger easily but their money means more than human lives . As long as MONEY is the single most important thing on this earth ... nothing will change , ever .

That's simply not true. Modern democracies could eradicate poverty tomorrow. It would take taxing the top 10% of income earners a few percent of their income. We could do this *tomorrow* and eradicate poverty *forever*. youtube.com/watch?v=dQ4cpOKm…

80% of the planet live on less than the equivalent of 10USD a day ... this is a systems failure.
