Prosperity isn't the issue. The issue is whether or not there are enough resources to go around for nearly 7 billion people... and either way, whether or not we are hoarding our share. We buy our products from global sources. We need to think about the global population, and stop acting like the world outside of our hedges doesn't exist.
This is a common attitude with those who have, but ultimately it is counterproductive to society as a whole. It is a diamond-encrusted crutch. And sooner or later, the have-nots are going to yank that crutch and smack the haves in the head with it. (And the children will not be spared.)
