Right now there are political parties hard at work making global redistribution of wealth a reality

The point of my post is to investigate and discuss how this emerging trend will affect our lifestyle. It is no surprise that the countries that we like to visit are the ones that are economically poorer than North America. If the pro global redistribution of wealth lobby was successful in artificially making the world economically equal what would happen to our lifestyle?

Here's the problem in a nutshell--The countries that have abundant natural resources AND the entrepreneurial spirit to turn commodities into value-added product, prosper long-term. Those that have no/few natural resources BUT great entrepreneurial spirit, prosper.Those that only have the resources, don't. Those resources eventually get used up/ pumped out and then what do they have? Entrepreneurial spirit/thirst for education which can be turned into product/service lives on forever. It helps or maybe is necessary that there be a quasi-capitalist/open market system (diversity and meritocracy are key elements). Saudi Arabia is going to pump itself dry to feed the world's addiction to hydrocarbons, and then the UAE will own them. Nigeria will pump itself dry and then the world will forget about them. Venezuela will pump itself dry and then chaos/narcotraficantes will overwhelm them. Taiwan, South Korea and Israel will stand tall forever.

Redistribution of wealth does not mean you chop off the mountain tops entire to fill in the valleys, to create a smooth field. It does mean having a social safety net for those who need it AND at the same time doing what you can to obviate the conditions that keep people down which in many cases are the downtrodden themselves--for evidence look at the failed effort to radically reform and upgrade the DC school system. It does mean not allowing the intensely smart AND greedy to so completely game the system as has happened in the US--for example why is it that hedge-fund managers pay Federal taxes at a lesser rate than the manager of a K-mart? Because we have the best system of government that money can buy, that's why. Our middle income folks have steadily lost ground in nominal wages and purchasing power since the middle '70's with that money flowing predominantly to the top, and the social safety net for the permanent underclass being under permanently under assault even by the presumed centrists. There is class warfare being waged in the US and it's by the smart/and/greedy against all the rest of us. The poor aren't my classes enemy; it's the system-gamers at the top who are. The poor are just an easy target, just as undocumented aliens are.
Who's fantasy is "One World Order"? Certainly not mine--I celebrate diversity true enough but take comfort in my own culture and ethnicity. No, the "The OWO's" are the leaders of the transnationals who give a rat's ass less where the money comes from as long as they get and keep the majority of it. To believe otherwise is to indulge oneself in the sheerest fantasy--they live in a world that's completely different from ours.
Nobody but nobody I respect wants a 1-class society. And I agree that envy often replaces thought and effective action. The question is, how do we lead those folks into belief and action to improve their lives and society? I don't have an answer, do you?
