Ah, the ol’ zero-sum economics BS. The world is not poor, and helping one person does not impoverish another. Countries are going bankrupt because plutocrats enforce artificial scarcities so their own wealth generates for them disproportionate power over everyone else. The industrial revolution pretty much worked. Humanity got rich. And since it’s likely going to cost us the well-being of our natural habitat, we damn well ought to see some return on it, not hand it over to robber barons and their crony politicians.
