Rich are becoming richer, Poor are becoming poorer. How to put breaks to this trend? I think we can do this by making all private to public. That is no private business, everthing will be Government's only. Do u think this idea resembles the communist idealogy. What happens if everybody has to work and no private investments, no private offices, no private factories, no private establishments, no private business... everything will run by the Government, so that every human bing will have an employment. No unemployment anymore. All education, hospital, transportation.... what not everything will be provided by the Government free of cost, but everbody should join the govt. service and have to work to earn their daily bread. What is your opinion on this?

This does not work. You saw this in Communist countries like Russia, Albania, Romania and North Korea. Most people were living in abject poverty while corruption florished and enriched those at the top. You see this today in Cuba and in North Korea where South Korea has to help to keep people from starvation. Why do most of these countries throw off the shackles of Communism and revert to free enterprise? I think as a society we have the obligation to look after those who are less fortunate. We can do this with electing Governments that are democratic free of corruption and whose aim is to provide education to everyone, so every person has a chance to make a living. It could be in a trade, a profession or in the service industry. Education is the key to eradicate poverty.

it wont be wise to put everything into the governments hand just to find that the beaurucrats get an opportunity to abuse the situationa bit more and fill up there pockets.
first thing thats needed is education and awareness. NGOs need to play a major role in all this.

Thank you very much for your response. In my system, there is no such opportunity to beaurocrats to fill their pockets, since what they do to the money, when they can't utilize it... ie., they can't buy a property, since the system won't allow one to own a property.

That's called communism. Read the history of the USSR.
As for me... NO THANKS!
