What would those people become? Rich, employed, educated? All three? All this by (I assume) liquidation of 7 estates, and distributing the wealth among the poor. Would it be evenly divided? Or would it be adjusted for local economic conditions? At what level does poverty begin?
In countries where the average salary is, say, $1,000 USD, if you make $500 USD would you be considered poor? How about if you make twice the national average - $2,000 USD? Would you then be considered rich? Which soveriegn states' standard of living will be used to determine who is rich, and who is not?
The UN report is just another good example of the New World Order propoganda machine, reaching out to the have-nots in an attempt to conjure up emotional responses which will hopefully (in the UN's mind) lead to sweeping changes worldwide, and create fertile ground for the planting of socialism.
