90% of the world's population-- circumstance.
I am a firm believer in the Islamic notion that the community has a
right to a specific share of each individual's accumulated wealth --
quite apart from whatever share is accounted for by taxes. There is no
direct English translation for zakat, but that is, roughly, the concept
behind it. Alms-giving-as-taxation, to feed the hungry in your own
geographic community (I donate to the Food Bank of Waterloo Region). But
my belief in and adherence to the zakat in no way diminishes my
revulsion at the feminist effort to make children interchangeable with
adults, to describe children as either poor or rich with, in short, the
feminist tactical effort to entrench this view-point in law so as to
increase the unearned income of unemployed and unemployable women by
establishing a guaranteed income for each child (which incomes would, of
course, become the property of the custodial parent -- three guesses who
that turns out to be). If this is not the sleazy, greedy and underhanded
long-term motive behind the misuse of the term --child poverty-- by
feminists in the industrialized countries, I apologize, but I think it
is ridiculous to
.
