...According to the United Nations, Mr. Chairman, the world's 225 richest individuals have a combined wealth of over $1 trillion, equal to the bottom 47 percent of the world's population - 225 people have as much wealth as almost half of the world's population.
"Does that concern you? Do you think that is just?...Does that concern you, Mr. Greenspan?"
Greenspan said that he generally would prefer less concentration of wealth. He also said, "It is not by any means clear to me that if you were somebody to take these 225 individuals and merely indicate them that they no longer have any wealth, and you put them away on a desert island, that the state of the rest of the world would be improved in the slightest."...
Greenspan did not believe in short-term compassion. Redistributing $1 trillion from the 225 riches to the 3 billion poorest would not achieve much in the long run. In reality, those 3 billion people live on an average of less than $2 a day; the $1 trillion could provide them additional $1 a day for a year. But Greenspan believed that only structural change, capitalism, the rule of law and the creation of private property ownership would lift up the world's poor. Endeavors to help those living at the Malthusian levels of survival were often counterproductive, creating longer-term problems...

On October 1, 1998, after the LTCM financial crisis, Representative Bernie Sanders, a Socialist from Vermont who was treated as a Democrat in the House reportedly pressed Mr. Alan Greenspan as above stated.
Now it is clear how crazy you would be if you take wealth but not God.
It is not a matter of temporary figures of money to be distributed or withdrawn from the poor among mankind, based on whatever reasons that would result in the same old concrete action, namely, never giving any money free to the poor whether they are Christians, Israelites, Muslims, or Japanese in addition to Indians and Chinese or other believers.
It is a matter of a paradigm change, a philosophical change, and a world-view change that will lead to a long-term and sustainable blessed change of the whole structure of the economic system of mankind that has been at stake.
When you are asked such a question including some concrete figures, you have to answer it discussing underlying conditions that support and make appropriate the reference to those figures.
Alan, as three billion poor people are deprived of $1 each everyday, those 225 people could accumulate total $1 trillion, as your calculation proves, in this world.
It is a commonsense in market that a wider way for wealth is raking every dime and change from pockets of a myriad of poor consumers.
Alan, your philosophy is just making good to those cold-blooded traffickers in every industrial, financial, and service sector but crushing hope of the poor trying hard to take any port in a storm.
One day, an Angel would knock on your door, a sound and a rhythm of which would tell you that you have to let him in.
The Angel would announce that Alan Greenspan challenged the teaching of Jesus Christ, namely to give all the money to the poor without any conditions devised by mean human wisdom, so that Alan Greenspan must come before God to repeat his argument so as to be exempted, if possible at all, from this sin of defiance to the teaching of the Holy Lord.
Alan, just repent. Say that you are a sinner in a film to be made by Al or Michael, if possible at all, since 2 million people cannot pay 200,000 dollars, respectively, in a subprime loan scheme you could have prevented to be applied to them but did not just relying on an assumption that a house would stand for decades with a reasonable value no matter if its owner is changed due to his default and other's purchase of the estate in the US housing market.

Now, Bob, what is this "Obama" stuff?
They once all waived flags of the Stars and Stripes, shouting "You will hear Bush!"
Then, seven years passed and they are now waving placards telling "Yes We Can!"
They are just like having been hit on the left cheek and running to the right for Mr. Bush to carry him on their shoulders like a shrine or an idol but now throwing it out and running to the left for Mr. Obama to carry him on their shoulders like a portable shrine or an idol.
What they should do is to turn their right cheek to the world, shouldn't they?
Tell FBI and other law enforcement agencies to tighten the security on the West Coast.
(Alice was just dreaming, in the story "Alice in the Wonder Land."
Alice eventually thought that it must have been herself or the Red King that had been dreaming.
Yet, Mr. Alan Greenspan and President Ronald Reagan, the appointer of the former, both might have been dreaming.
And, they both might not wake up forever but get into oblivion.
Now, good girls, you have to wake up and go and save 3 billion poor people in the world with $1 or $2 in your pocket, since it is a matter of the holy teaching of Jesus Christ.
In addition, I don't think the Red King believes in his dream.)
