Today the top wealthiest 20% of people in the world control 86% of the wealth while the bottom 20% control 1% of the wealth. If you saw group of birds doing the same in your backyard with food leaving some to starve unnecessarily, would you allow it to continue or shoo the wealthiest away and try to get them to apply a more even distribution of the wealth?

The rich countries have most of the wealth because they create most of the wealth. The less rich countries are overall growing faster and many of them will eventually become rich countries. This is not to say that the policies of the rich countries never do anything to hurt the poor countries, it would certainly help if the rich countries would accept more food and textile imports, but the rich countries are not richer because they are stealing from the poor countries.
