You wrote:Your fallacy lies in the fact that you fail to see it is in the eastern world that the gap between the upperclass and the lower class in the greatest. Look at the western world, the gap is narrower because there exists a separate class in between: its called the middle class. I dont see that class in the eastern world, viz. China, Nepal, India, Pakistan... ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- It may sound obsessive with the long gone past but the reason which gave birth to such a gap in the east was the western idea of colonizing the weaker ones for their selfish causes.European tyranny in the past and American aggression in the present is the root cause behind the lagging of third world societies.The easterners were smart enough to invent gun powder,compass,printing machines,the numeric zero the basis of all that shapes modern society but never sailed around the globe with cruel intentions of slaving and colonizing other societies.Should we have done that.NO.The civilization built on a strength of sword undoubtedly falls apart by the sword.The seed that was sowed to maintain the western might with the help of gun powder has now resulted in attacking soverign nations that are weaker with an excuse of planting freedom theat are less impressive than the idea of colonizing wealthier nations 300 years ago. The truth above is bitter pal.And only if you are brave enough and fair enough will you see that truth.It requires no effort to see the surface about what has been done in the past but if you open your eyes.Truth will appear.
