A lot of these statistics are meaningless without a context. If someone was forced to live in the US on $2.50 a day, they couldn't. On the other hand, to live in a country where the average annual income is $300 makes $2.50 a day an attractive wage.

These countries aren't poor because other people are rich. They're poor because they're primitive, corrupt, lazy, or totally lacking in natural resources. None of that is the fault of the "wealthy," nor will redistribution of wealth alleviate the situation. The money would just be squandered or end up back in the hands of the wealthy anyway.

Get some ambition. Stop standing in line for handouts. Stop blaming everyone else for your failures. Kill the corrupt and criminal. Take control of your own economic destinies and quit milling around waiting for manna to drop into your laps.

you’re a good company man....the elites doubled their wealth over the last few years because they work so darn hard and the poor are just lazy and corrupt....
