America makes up 6% of the world's population and controls 59% of the world's wealth. I'm sorry if what said in my previous post was confusing in anyway.

Well, I sure would like in on that and all. How do I as an US citizen control any of the world's wealth? I think you may be slightly confused on that statistic. It probably goes more like 6% of US citizens control 59% of the US's wealth.

China makes up about 20% of the world's population, has the most rapidly growing economy, and 4% of the entire world's population works for the People's Liberation Army (AKA Chinese Military) Not to mention 3rd largest stockpile of nuclear weapons, rapid technological advancements, and the ability to crush America into dust by just cutting off relations.
Deep unspeakable suffering may well be called a baptism, a regeneration, the initiation into a new state.

It works for both scenarios.

... In the United States at the end of 2001, 10% of the population owned 71% of the wealth, and the top 1% controlled 38%. On the other hand, the bottom 40% owned less than 1% of the total wealth.


Doesn't have the entire world though.
