Re: Economic Poverty and Wealth

Though some will say (and said) that hard workers should not be denied their hard-earned money, what is little money for them would be a lot of money for poor people, and could sustain poor people for a much longer time than someone used to being rich. The possible suggested and original solutions for this and other issues with distribution of wealth are as follows: instead of the government taxing the rich, have richer people donate to poorer people through a non-profit organization run by influential speakers and other people; and/or having the minimum wage be determined by a large group of trustworthy middle-class workers. Both these solutions would begin in the United States and, once America is more equal, spread to other nations. Which of these solutions would be better, or both? Arguments?
