"Why aren’t we earning enough to live?" – The Divide lays bare global inequality

[designerusa]

The one major reason why we aren't earning enough is, we use money controlled by others. Let nobody control the money - like Bitcoin - and we all will move out of poverty into wealth. Why? With all the modern equipment available these days, if a person's labor was 99% for himself, he would be able to get by as he is living now on less than half the work he is doing now.

perfectly completely agreed.. if nobody control our money, we -whole humankind_ will be rich but some brutal forces want us to be their slave so they dont let us control our own money ..

That is one part of it. But not the only change that is needed. Maybe not even the major change like he said. 99% of a person's labor won't be for himself if he is working in this system. It will go to the people who own and manage the work place. Who own the equipment and what produces that equipment. Inequality won't disappear immediately. Bitcoin or not. Taxes will still exist. Maybe will work a bit different but that is it. And so will the rest.
