The continued marginalization of the majority is not solved by - TopicsExpress

The continued marginalization of the majority is not solved by merely driving up economic growth or producing more goods and services. The problem of so many people getting less in life and actually being conscious of it may only be eliminated by securing greater economic opportunities that cascade to the base of the socio-economic class structure. The bottom poor and lower middle class must be able to have a bigger part not only in the creation of wealth, but its division. And this is by being able to participate substantially in how things are being run. The strategy should be not just to have the benefits of progress trickle down to the bottom, but to lift the bottom to make as well as take control of such progress. If fewer than one percent of the population brings home ninety percent of the wealth created by 90 percent of the same population, then we have got an explosive problem in our hands. If 80 individuals possess the equivalent of wealth that can make life better for 55 million people, the country may get some well known rich into the worlds dollar-multibillionaires row, but find most of its citizens continuing to languish in third-world conditions of existence.
