Theoretically it could be done through redistribution of wealth but the political leaders and religious leaders being so corrupt would never let it happen. Donations to charities only a small amount of money ends up going to help the poor people in need. |
To be fair:
Redistributing wealth to Africa would never work. As others have said, any wealth would be hoarded by the leaders, and never allowed to go away from their soldiers and the rest in power. Redistribution is based on the (faulty) assumption that all people act equal when equal money is given to them, and this is furthest from the truth.
Of corse, if you want to re-distribute your wealth to the Africans, feel free to. See how far it gets you and them.
Back from the dead, I'm afraid.
