And remember, inequality is part of life. You cant cure world poverty because what you give to one person you take away from another. If you suddenly have "100 billion dollars" it doesn't mean the world is better off in any way; but everybody else's dollars are worth a little less.

You cant tell me that pulling poor families out of a world of shit is making the world less of a place to live. With 100 billion dollars you could industrialize small third world nations, change the way and quality of life for millions of people, inequality is only a way of life for ignorant greedy people with more money than they could spend in a lifetime and a lack of creativity or intelligence to do something good with it while they are here. The world is full of em sadly, but if given the opportunity to step into those shoes I think I would do something decidedly different.
