        @SyafiqTay @WSJ wealth would increase even more if corporations would focus on solving social problems as well

        @SyafiqTay @WSJ See charity isn't the only solution. Business can benefit from solving social problems. http://www.ted.com/talks/michael_porter_why_business_can_be_good_at_solving_social_problems.html …

        @SyafiqTay @WSJ true, we do not. I never said so. However the system is never the problem it's the people. Same with communism.

        @SyafiqTay @WSJ just so you get me. Communism fails, because it doesn't take into account that people often try to be better then others.

        @WSJ Nice! Question though? How is wealth distributed? Is wealth going to make the powerful richer or give the struggling workers a relief?

        @alweisen you'd do well to know that early isn't distributed. It's created/earned.

        @joesanders33 think: an inventor of a unique part in a product receives a great salary. His manager gets the millions. Why? Fair?

        @joesanders33 in between this question: which performance was more important?! I think it's difficult to answer

        @joesanders33 I think it's not that easy to answer. It really depends. I think salary gaps are sometimes to wide and out of range.

        @alweisen if a company pays too much or too little, it will suffer the consequences. No govt intervention is necessary ever at any point

        @joesanders33 what about countries where people are working under inferior conditions and have no choice? should a corporation invest here?
