This is where we disagree and also where the problem lies in this discussion. There isn't enough of resources for everyone to live a first world standard of living, so there's only a few options- 1. Divide the resources equally. 2. Give more resources to the less advantaged at the expense of the first world.
I don't think you or Christman would accept anything less than option #1, and any discrepancy in resources would still have the same "ill-gotten gains" attached to it.
I disagree. We found $80B to INCREASE the already bloated military budget in this country alone. I think the entire world can find double that to stop extreme poverty.

"I disagree"
With what exactly? I stated "I wouldn't have any issue".

No, if you actually followed Bernie's proposals, you'd realize that they benefit vast majority of taxpayers at the expense of the super rich.
It's honorable of you to be willing to accept a lower standard of living so that our billionaires can do a little better, but I personally don't think billionaires need help as much as the rest of us.

We both know there's not enough resources for everyone to live a first world standard of living.
Are there enough resources to lift everyone out of at least "extreme poverty"? I don't think we know.
The problem with you and Christman is that you would cause my standard of living to drop to make up the difference, and I find that highly problematic.

So he was afraid of other blacks then? Because he's most likely to be a victim from a violent act committed by another black.

You conceded that argument here, and said that while there may be enough resources, "third world migrants are NOT productive, they are leeches" and that's why we couldn't raise everyone to a higher standard of living.

Maybe he is. Can’t he also be afraid of the police? Are people only allowed to be worried about one thing at a time? Of course not. You’re worried about black people and Mexicans... at the same time.

I was referring to third world migrants which invaded the EU, not the billions of poor people currently living in their homelands. You do see the difference?
If you want to discuss the original topic, please do so. If you want to make another strawman, please don't.
