# Hmm
Possibly because you suggested 'closing the rich-poor divide' by stopping giving money to impoverished starving families in the third world and instead giving it to local farmers who are already hundreds of times better off.

Or that 'noone thinks of other people' any more, and the answer to that is to promote xenophobic economics.

# You have misunderstood me there
Well, to be accurate - taken my words out of context. I didn't suggest stopping giving money to the developing world, for it is not them who are getting richer. It's the big companies that buy their products from them, of course. We also need to set up a system so that we can help developing countries to develop more but that's a whole different area and one that lies outside of my project.
I am very anti-xenophobic but just wanting people to support each other as a community certainly doesn't mean that they should dislike any 'ousiders' in any way.
PS - I accidentally clicked 'I like' on your post when I was going to click reply.
