This should either make you feel good about yourself, or feel bad about yourself.
I dunno how much my parents make
You 5,957,009,885 are considerably poorer than me…harry enfield style 
lmao just did when i earned around 5 quid a week pocket money as a kid. 1,121,445,783
I make roughly ~80 bucks a week just as a weekend busboy, and multiplied by 48 (just to factor in those days I may not work, or maybe work a little less hours), that’s a per capita of $3840. Obviously sounds very small for the U.S., right?
That’s depressing when there’s that many people in the world poorer than a lowly weekend busboy.

if thats true my parents should be able 2 fork over some more money for my uni budget i mean compared 2 every one else were freaking in the big bills aparentally
…or you could pay for dinner for an entire third world country.
That thing is based on a yearly salary and takes no account of what the cost of living is in different areas. I may have made more than X number of people last year, but I definitely do not have more riches than X number of people. In the US, I need to work a lot more years to retire, but I could probably retire today if I lived in Thailand, and assumed the same standard of living at either place.
I wonder why the “DONATE” button is flashing on the site?
Only one person has no one richer than him, and only one person has no one poorer.
becaaaause…
Sure. There’s places in India where you could live on a nice houseboat, with servants cleaning and cooking for you, all for $100.00/month.
It’s designed to get you to GIVE. The USA is the richest nation, Bahrain is pretty rich too, I guess.
Probably a lot of people all equal, with nothing.
Bad news for (most) Americans
Whitney on dollar collapse

Obliterating the Dollar … and the Middle Class?
Preparing for the Economic Typhoon
By MIKE WHITNEY
Gold traders love George Bush. They know that his blundering
mismanagement of the economy will keep gold soaring well into the
future. In the last year alone gold increased nearly $200 an ounce
capping off a 5 year run that has taken it from $274 per ounce to
$635 at Friday’s close.
These are serious numbers and they reflect the uneasiness with the
global political situation (Iran, Nigeria) as well as concern about
the oceans of debt generated by our Oval Office numbskull.
Is it really possible for one man to single-handedly obliterate the
world’s most robu st economy?
Guess so.
After 6 years of looting the public till, the cupboard is just about
bare. Bush has chalked up another $3 trillion of public debt which
sounds the death-knell for Social Security, public education, and the
social safety net.
Think I’m kidding? Consider what new Fed-master Ben Bernacke said
just yesterday, “If the dollar declined sharply, it would not
necessarily disrupt markets”.
That’s right; the Fed is conspiring to reduce its debt payments by
driving a wooden stake into the heart of the greenback. In three to
six months the dollar will probably be valued at 1.40 to 1.50 per
euro. That is, if the bottom doesn’t fall out completely. After all,
allies and enemies alike are pretty sick of the good old USA, so it
wouldn’t be out of the question for someone (perhaps, China) to start
a sell-off that would end in disa ster.
The dollar is now recognized as the empire’s Achilles heel and the
primary target for any asymmetrical warfare directed at America. If
that means regime change at home, count me in. I’ll worry about the
wheelbarrow-loads of greenbacks for a loaf of bread some other time.
The Group of Seven industrialized nations (G-7) took a few swipes at
Washington’s profligate spending this weekend; warning that they
wanted “more flexibility” in the Asian currencies. This is a clear
sign that the path is being paved for a freefalling dollar while the
other currencies gain ground.
How do you like the idea that half of your savings will be erased
through executive fiat?
Since Bush took office the dollar has plummeted 30% against the euro.
The only thing that has kept it from joining the peso is the
skyrocketing oil prices which have allowed the Fed to kee p the
printing presses going at full tilt. That’s because oil is
denominated exclusively in dollars, so while the price per barrel
continued upward, the Fed was able to circulate another $2.5 trillion
of funny money. The high cost of oil has kept the dollar reasonably
stable even though the twin-deficits have eroded its true value.
Maintaining the monopoly on the sale of oil (which forces foreign
central banks to hold billions of greenbacks in reserve) is critical
to US prosperity. A switch to euros would weaken demand for the
dollar and send the American economy into a tailspin.
Unfortunately, other countries are frustrated with the recklessness
of the Bush team and are threatening to destabilize the system. First
there was the danger of Iran opening an oil bourse that would compete
head-on with the dollar; increasing the number of euros stockpiled in&n bsp;
the central banks. Now, the Russian Finance Minister, Alexei Kudrin
has fired a broadside at his American counterparts saying, “The US
dollar is NOT the world’s absolute reserve currency”. He noted that
the unsustainable’ US trade deficit is “causing concern” and that
“the international community can hardly be satisfied with this
instability.”
Kudrin’s remarks were greeted with the shock one would expect from a
dirty bomb on a crowded subway. America’s global dominance requires
that it maintain the dollar as the world’s reserve currency; if that
changes then the US will be unable to trade its painted-script for
valuable resources. It would also mean that America would have to
start paying back its $9 trillion national debt.
Kudrin’s comments were interpreted to mean that Russia might ease
away from the dollar in its oil transactions; a change th at might
spread to other countries that are equally skeptical of Uncle Sam’s
recklessness.
The eroding value of the dollar is just one of the economic crises
facing the American people. A 6 month downturn in housing starts
signals that the housing bubble, the largest equity bubble in
history, is quickly losing steam. With long term interest rates
steadily rising (along with energy prices) the shaky loans that were
blessed by former Fed-chief, Greenspan, are beginning to unravel. “No
down payment”, ARMs (Adjustable Rate Mortgages) and easy financing
have the over-extended American public teetering towards insolvency.
Foreclosures are up, mortgages balances are at unprecedented levels,
and inventories are larger than they’ve been since the early 90s.
Last month produced the biggest slowdown in sales in a decade and the
real pain hasn’t even begun . At least $3 trillion of the $9 trillion
equity bubble is built entirely on the cheap money pumped into the
system by the Federal Reserve to keep the economy percolating while
Bush and Co. stole every last farthing in the US Treasury.
Greenspan’s low interest rates were nothing more than a carnival-
hucksters’ scam to shift the vast wealth of America’s middle class
into the pockets of well-heeled constituents.
Thanks, Alan.
Last year Americans used their homes as a personal ATM; withdrawing
over $600 billion to pay off credit card debt and for personal
spending. That “presto-equity” is quickly evaporating as home prices
flatten out and wages continue to stagnate. Personal debt is
currently in the stratosphere and there are some gloomy signs that
the American consumer, that great engine of global economic power, is
finally tapped out. Consumer spending represents 70% of US GDP (Gross
Domestic Product) so, as housing prices retreat and energy prices
increase; Americans will face the greatest economic challenge since
the Great Depression.
One thing is absolutely certain; Bush will stick by his constituents
to the bitter end. It is physically impossible for him to act in the
interests of the American people. He won’t be deterred by the falling
dollar, the deflating housing market, or the skyrocketing energy
prices. He’ll make his budget-busting tax cuts permanent and plunge
the country into a sea of red ink.
Betting that George Bush will do the wrong thing for the nation is
not a matter of conjecture; it is a mathematical certainty. He is
deliberately destroying the middle class, the prospects for upward
mobility, and the currency. The economic underpinnings of American
democracy have b een demolished in just 6 short years. Smart people
will prepare themselves for the typhoon ahead.
