&gt; Will it be ok if wealth from developed nations were transferred to poor nations, every year?<p>It will, and it happens; think the rich Western European countries putting money into Europe, which they pay out to the economically less developed countries in the east and south. It&#x27;s what allowed Greece to not go bankrupt. There&#x27;s also basic relief coming from the UN, and of course taking in Syrian refugees.<p>&gt; There is a irrational fear here somehow equating wealth and evil. Not sure why people even think that way.<p>Because money buys power, and if, say, someone wants to build a wall to keep Mexicans or Canadians out, enough money will buy enough power to do that. Corruption. Second, the rich in the US got rich at the expense of the now nearly non-existent middle class and the poor, and the relatively rich country isn&#x27;t putting its money into basic services like decent, affordable health care, basic income, or decent jobs (something above a McJob that doesn&#x27;t require a university degree).<p>It&#x27;s not the rich that are the problem, it&#x27;s the fact the middle class is going extinct because of them or their businesses. It&#x27;s the companies like Amazon that offer low prices due to low-paid but hard-working employees (that will soon be replaced by robots), or the food companies with dollar menus (whose employees are also being replaced by robots &#x2F; computer screens). There&#x27;s no real higher-level jobs becoming available for those people - also because higher-level educations have to either be paid out of pocket, or paid out of various grants (like the ones that will pay your education if you happen to be good at sports or chess or whatever).<p>[&#x2F;rant. Probably wrong. But, perceptions]
