"Basically, we need resources, but no one wants to share, or at least share with everybody equally. That's what it all comes down to," the President explained.

Poverty, hunger, and disease could be eliminated, leaving those who wish to cause trouble with nothing to incite anyone with. We could have even had world peace."
