How to End Poverty

  • 0:06 - 0:09
    Have you even wondered why seems like
  • 0:09 - 0:14
    no matter how much civilization progresses you may never seen poverty
  • 0:14 - 0:17
    there is a reason, and it is probably uncounted
  • 0:17 - 0:20
    many of the greatest minds in history may not even existed
  • 0:20 - 0:24
    but it were malfunctionally faded from public illness
  • 0:25 - 0:28
    we can imagine we are all in a small planet
  • 0:28 - 0:30
    the guy in green represents the average workers
  • 0:30 - 0:33
    who were so poor they must venture for new land.
  • 0:33 - 0:35
    Land that they did not have to pay rent,
  • 0:35 - 0:38
    or they can have a chance to make a better life for themselves,
  • 0:38 - 0:41
    much like the pioneers from the nineteenth century.
  • 0:41 - 0:43
    The number that both of these guys head
  • 0:43 - 0:44
    represents their rages.
  • 0:44 - 0:48
    The average rage of people continuously venturing to unknown land.
  • 0:48 - 0:50
    Note that there are some gold coins that he was shovel out
  • 0:50 - 0:53
    showing that whatever he were working before ???? him wages
  • 0:54 - 0:56
    if you were a farmer, his wages will be
  • 0:56 - 0:59
    by selling trading, eating the crops he harvests,
  • 0:59 - 1:01
    When talking about him,
  • 1:01 - 1:03
    as if you were a single farmer,
  • 1:03 - 1:07
    keep in mind that he represents the average of all the poor farmers.
  • 1:07 - 1:10
    And in the top left corner of this screen
  • 1:10 - 1:13
    we see Mr. Monopoly flying in a
  • 1:13 - 1:15
    of the most fertile land from himself
  • 1:15 - 1:16
    he does nothing for his land,
  • 1:16 - 1:19
    he just falls in a sleep.
  • 1:19 - 1:22
    Meanwhile people move in around it
  • 1:22 - 1:24
    they wage parts from themselves
  • 1:24 - 1:27
    but these people are not less lazy than mr. Monopoly
  • 1:27 - 1:29
    they make productive use of their land
  • 1:29 - 1:33
    some of farmers, some ???, some doctors, some lawyers
  • 1:33 - 1:35
    so on and so forth.
  • 1:35 - 1:38
    Their land were inproved thru the activity
  • 1:38 - 1:41
    and their land becomes more desirable as result.
  • 1:41 - 1:43
    Through the creation of a community,
  • 1:43 - 1:45
    the demand for land increases.
  • 1:45 - 1:46
    As people move in,
  • 1:46 - 1:49
    but diverse skills, ??? and services beign traded,
  • 1:49 - 1:51
    the community becomes a nicer place to live.
  • 1:51 - 1:54
    The collaboration between the residents
  • 1:54 - 1:57
    makes everyones labour that much more productive
  • 1:57 - 2:00
    does everybody wants to live near the center of the growing community.
  • 2:02 - 2:05
    All of these causes the land rise in value,
  • 2:05 - 2:07
    and this increases rent.
  • 2:07 - 2:11
    Does the poor farmer who is barely able to ??? in his family
  • 2:11 - 2:13
    before than the increase in rent.
  • 2:13 - 2:15
    It is now pushed into further away from the community,
  • 2:15 - 2:18
    and becomes even poor than before.
  • 2:19 - 2:21
    The increased land values represent
  • 2:21 - 2:25
    a monopoly lands by the money that flies over his land.
  • 2:25 - 2:28
    He still has yet make yet one single improvement
  • 2:28 - 2:32
    in fact, whatever one else were working harder on building bigger and better structures,
  • 2:32 - 2:35
    mr. Monopoly has beeing sleeping it his whole time.
  • 2:35 - 2:38
    He is growing richer everyday.
  • 2:38 - 2:41
    Now, this entire part of this planet farmer above his head
  • 2:41 - 2:44
    thet become lower and lower as he moves further away from the community
  • 2:44 - 2:48
    and then, he farms every poor soil
  • 2:48 - 2:52
    Now, his entire part of this soil has beign claimed ??? people.
  • 2:52 - 2:55
    Therefore, the poor, like their farming
  • 2:55 - 2:58
    became pioneers inside of their planet.
  • 2:58 - 3:01
    Unfortunatelly, this side is soon enough claimed by new land owners,
  • 3:01 - 3:03
    just like the other side was.
  • 3:03 - 3:06
    Mr. Monopoly awakes fom his slumber,
  • 3:06 - 3:10
    and becames one of the people who claim the land from the new side.
  • 3:10 - 3:15
    This means there is no free land that the farmer can go to live and work,
  • 3:15 - 3:17
    without paying rent.
  • 3:17 - 3:22
    Does he has no other choice but to pay whatever ammount Mr. Monopoly charges.
  • 3:22 - 3:25
    The rent that he must pay for his survival will be very high,
  • 3:25 - 3:28
    because it depends for his survival,
  • 3:28 - 3:31
    and he can't go nowhere else planet rent free.
  • 3:31 - 3:34
    Therefore, every time he harvests his crops,
  • 3:34 - 3:38
    mr. Monopoly uses his vacuum to suck must of these farmers earnings.
  • 3:38 - 3:40
    Because the rent is so high,
  • 3:40 - 3:44
    our farmer has very little money for himself
  • 3:44 - 3:47
    wage ??? one ??? barely
  • 3:47 - 3:51
    he close gets ??? and becomes more poor and unhappy.
  • 3:51 - 3:56
    The farmer in green, who again represents all the poor farmers in this area,
  • 3:56 - 3:58
    gets an idea, he thinks
  • 3:58 - 4:03
    maybe if he works harder, he can keep more from himself, after this rent was paid.
  • 4:03 - 4:05
    Look at the number above his head
  • 4:05 - 4:07
    it reaches seven!
  • 4:07 - 4:08
    Yet as its more people work harder
  • 4:08 - 4:12
    Mr. Monopoly will experiment when charging extra more rent
  • 4:12 - 4:14
    So, each extra money farmers make
  • 4:14 - 4:18
    will be sucked up in rent by Mr. Monopoly.
  • 4:18 - 4:21
    Even if a new farmer equipment was invented,
  • 4:21 - 4:23
    And wages climb higher
  • 4:23 - 4:25
    Mr. Monopoly will know this
  • 4:25 - 4:27
    He was able to raise the rent almost immediatelly he sees the bigger harvests.
  • 4:27 - 4:30
    The more money the farmer have,
  • 4:30 - 4:33
    the more the rental rises.
  • 4:33 - 4:36
    The farmers wages down to one
  • 4:36 - 4:40
    Discouragingly, even if ???? income of the poor farmer to rise,
  • 4:40 - 4:43
    the rent will also rise for the same reason.
  • 4:43 - 4:45
    If our poor farmer ??? for money,
  • 4:45 - 4:47
    Mr. Monopoly will simply demand more rent.
  • 4:47 - 4:52
    There are no other options for surviving than paying the rent.
  • 4:52 - 4:55
    Even when people see what is happening ??? something nice,
  • 4:55 - 4:59
    such as community center in order to keep ??? nicer live
  • 4:59 - 5:02
    This only causes the land values to go up
  • 5:02 - 5:04
    and causes these rents to rise in response.
  • 5:04 - 5:07
    Just as occured on the other side of the planet.
  • 5:07 - 5:09
    Here is a question for you.
  • 5:09 - 5:10
    Think about it carefully.
  • 5:10 - 5:12
    If I owned all the land on earth
  • 5:12 - 5:14
    and you had all the money
  • 5:14 - 5:16
    how much do you think i would charge you
  • 5:16 - 5:18
    for the first night's rent?
  • 5:18 - 5:21
    Well, i'll charge as much as i could
  • 5:21 - 5:22
    And there will be a reason why
  • 5:22 - 5:24
    no matter of ??? civilization
  • 5:24 - 5:25
    Always seems to be enough
  • 5:25 - 5:26
    to erradicate poverty.
  • 5:26 - 5:28
    But, what can we do about this?
  • 5:28 - 5:30
    is there a remedy?
  • 5:30 - 5:32
    Well, sure is
  • 5:32 - 5:35
    Just collect all the money taken by land owners just like Mr. Monopoly
  • 5:35 - 5:37
    money that is no other
  • 5:37 - 5:41
    and use that for public revenue
  • 5:41 - 5:44
    that means there will be more farmers rise
  • 5:44 - 5:46
    not these kids
  • 5:46 - 5:49
    as a bonus, ??? need for all taxes
  • 5:49 - 5:54
    Stating ???? part two ??? more detail ??? effects of this remedy.
