Bill Clinton - Why Giving Matters

Listen to the speech, and give.

Anyone who has a net worth over US$500,000, which means most American homeowners, is in the top 1% of the worlds wealth. They are responsible, they are those capabe and those who owe everyone else, because they have enough money to live off the interest on their capital wealth. They have been given the free pass on life, they don't have to work, they don't have anything to do but make something meaningful out of their lives.

Bill Clinton said something terrifying at the end of his speech. By 2050 there will be 9 Billion people on this planet. The only way to stem the tide is to educate every woman on the planet for as long as they are willing to stay in school. Because empowering women will extend the time that it takes to reproduce, decrease the number of children, and give them the intellectual resources to raise the next generation well.
