How much do sonographers make a year?

How much money did the world make last year?

• not how much did they make for themselves, how much did they make for everyone else? Im having a hard time understanding how economic growth is good. personally, without capital, and my low-wage job, economic growth leaves me further in the bottom of the barrel with more pollution and crap. meanwhile, many earn money for producing what I deem toxic garbage and then use that money to demand other toxic products and that just keeps me and unfortunate future generations whirling in a toxic environment. not that I will have any kids myself, but other people I know will, and they have no choice but to live and work in this world I do understand how growth is 'good' for many people who own small businesses and shares in corporations as it grows their personal wealth and preserves a sort of interest, but how is growth and their money making good for those of us who dont? in other words, how much did they make for themselves, and how much garbage did they create for everyone else? and who even 'made' the money? was it the guys who printed it or was it the poor- and middle-class workers working for it? by garbage, I also mean dependences. we have no choice but to work for dollars to pay our rent, utilities, interest, bills, gas, imitation food and other products supplied to our local markets. I know gas and utilities pay great dividends to shareholders and investors, but its hard to earn enough to be able to own them, and I think taking from the poor and giving to the rich is fairly unethical not that rich people should share wealth and give money to other nasty demand schedules, I just think that they should be more thoughtful, courteous, and respectful of the world and future generations

• Answer:

  Stop worrying about what the world made, or anyone you don't know for that fact. You just need to know the concept of "trickle-down economics:. The major corporations run the country and they supply mass amounts of employment which is why the government loves them so much (note: government bailed all banks in 2008). You want to make money with smart investments. So what should u invest in? the answer is commodities. Look at graphs from 2000-2011 on the price of oil, gold (gold especially) and other minerals, they've ALL increased. Go to a bank and make an over-the-counter purchase of silver or gold you'll make money from all the hyperinflation going on.
