Menendez Monday
March 19th, 2008 at 3:34 pm | posted by Virginia SimmonsGreat report back from Ross of SetonHall University of ONE students and members lobbying Senator Robert Menendez last Monday.
“Last week the luck of the Irish was with the ONE Campaign. New Jersey members of ONE and our partner organization CARE met with Senator Robert Menendez to discuss his support for several anti-poverty bills going through Congress. For my part in the meeting I thanked the senator for co-sponsoring and voting for the Biden/Lugar amendment to the FY09 international affairs budget which, as many of you might know, restored $4.1 billion dollars…”

how a bout calculate every country’s worth in money and assets, all 200 or so , then take into effect illegal monies to project a WORLD WORTH!!!!!! then take the population total in numbers, divide it equally for all humans. every man and woman would be rich!!!!!!!!! i make it sound easy because i have the idea, but you have the means to put it to the media’s attention.

Interesting Question!
Quick back of the envelop calculations:
Numbers from:
http://www.blacklistednews.com/view.asp?ID=5849
World’s GDPs for all nations is approximately $50 trillion
Total value of the world’s real estate is estimated at about $75 trillion
Total value of world’s stock and bond markets is more than $100 trillion
BIS 2007 valuation of the world’s derivatives is now $516 trillion
My math: 50 trillion world GDP / 6.5 billion people = 7,700.00 income per person per year
691 trillion world wealth / 6.5 billion people = 106,000.00 wealth per person
I don’t think we would feel wealthy at that level. But if you divide it by a workforce of 3 billion (from CIA world factbook) it would more than double those figures. Still, not a feeling of wealth, but if there was even a little more equitable distribution of wealth and income I think the world would grow well beyond these figures. The problem is, could we afford this level of wealth environmentally. By the time we reached these levels we could hope for cleaner technology and the rate of population growth would level off as incomes rose.
I couldn’t find any good estimate of world black market value. Someone let me know if you do.

yes the assets, and that information is very old. I wouldnt trust any saourse but myself on this one. Im working on it. YOU MUST BE RICH YOURSELF!!!!!!!!!!! THAT WHY YOU DONT FEEL WEALTH, the reason the ecomnomy is jacked is because the rich get too rich. too the point of unneccessary limits.. we should have a salary cap. I dont “FEEL” your numbers or ideas. The oblest is to equalize and we will prosper with so much wealth just by starting fresh in trading and markets. The reason is empire, read the blogs at myspace.com/fltbry27 we would be able to cure world hungert you iddioT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THEN WE CAN FINISH WITH PEACE AND PROSPERITY.
