A Cake of Wastage

Today as I watched a documentary called "The Corporation", I learned something new about economics. Basically, economics has failed all of us regardless of where we come from or what our current status is. Imagine the earth as a huge gigantic cake, we slowly pinch bit by bit from this cake to satisfy our hunger and glutton desires, however economics is not the best cake house in town, here we are allowed regurgitate the cake and spit out unwanted materials back on the cake for the next person to taste... Now, does that sound familiar?

Why are they polluting the earth for the sake of profit? Why are the Bangladeshis paid 2 peanuts for a days work? Do they not realize that whatever they exploit will become a tax to be paid by the future generations? We already are paying these taxes from the rates of cancer, quality of water, poverty and war.

Why oh why? We are rich but we cannot pay back this tax with the useless pieces of paper. Why oh why do we make our children to pay this tax?
