disperse more money ? isn't thye bad economy somewhat like sitting,at the end of a monopoly when the other players have all the money and property?can someone elaberate with out insulting of course? as this is curious subject for many these days. even share a wild economy saving idea?
 
The big companies are selfish, I think that's why - Would you like to give half your possesions to people who may not have much money? I wouldn't :P
But the weird thing is, if we shared the world's money equally, we would barely be able to afford a TV set. What confuses me is why people can be so greedy - There are people that play football and earn 1,000s of pounds an hour and people who save other's lives don't even earn half that...
 
Unfortunately your plan is flawed. The problem is that the smartest people and the richest people are usually the same people. If you do not reward these people adequately they will not produce. If they do not produce there is no wealth to redistribute. Communist countries found this out pretty quickly when all their best minds fled to the US for higher rewards and more freedom.
 
Greed, selfishness, ignorance etc..
But tbh, it isn't really fair on the 'rich' either to just 'disperse' their money among the poor, especially if they themselves worked hard to amass a fortune.
The government could essentially help redistribute income more evenly by using higher progressive taxes but that wouldn't be right in this economy as it is deflationary fiscal policy, which will further dampen the economy - not ideal in the middle of a recession.
