Define ridiculously huge and who gets to define what is huge and what isn't. Of course there's a negative net worth. Indebtedness can't be wished away just because people have a negative net worth. Do you understand the new bankruptcy bill? Poverty can be defined in many ways but, like pornography, we know it when we see it. Poverty doesn't affect just the poor, it makes the rest of us poorer. I'm more optimistic than you are. I see the possibility of a world where no one is poor and no one outrageously rich. People aren't that much different from one another and it's only our collective society that allows for amazing wealth accumulation. I believe it's an ill society that has a very large gap between rich and poor. In our current situation, the rightwing is deliberately using the power of government to widen the gap. That isn't capitalism, it's corruption.
