Global Rich List

Didn't make it onto the yearly roll call of the mega-wealthy?    Why not find out where you'd actually sit in comparison to the rest of the world? You might be surprised.
 
Martin Luther King Jr. wrote that in his famous mountaintop speech.  Guess its as true today as it was in 1968. 
 
 
 
"...This is what we have to do.
Now the other thing we'll have to do is this:   Always anchor our external direct action with the power of economic withdrawal.
Now, we are poor people.   Individually, we are poor ...  Never stop and forget that collectively -- that means all of us together -- collectively we are richer than all the nations in the world, with the exception of nine.   Did you ever think about that?
After you leave the United States, Soviet Russia, Great Britain, West Germany, France, and I could name the others, collectively (all the middle class and poor people in america put together, we are) richer than most nations of the world.   We have an annual income of more than thirty billion dollars a year (1968, much more today), which is more than all of the exports of the United States, and more than the national budget of Canada.   Did you know that? That's power right there, if we know how to pool it.
We don't have to argue with anybody. We don't have to curse and go around acting bad with our words.   We don't need any bricks and bottles...  
We just need to go around to these stores, and to these massive industries in our country, and say,
 "God sent us by here, to say to you that you're not treating his children right.   And we've come by here to ask you to make the first item on your agenda fair treatment, where God's children are concerned.  Now, if you are not prepared to do that, we do have an agenda that we must follow.   
And our agenda calls for withdrawing economic support from you."
And so, as a result of this, we are asking you tonight, to go out and tell your neighbors not to buy Coca-Cola in Memphis.   Go by and tell them not to buy Sealtest milk.   Tell them not to buy -- what is the other bread? -- Wonder Bread.   And what is the other bread company, Jesse?   Tell them not to buy Hart's bread.
As Jesse Jackson has said, up to now, only the garbage men have been feeling pain; now we must kind of redistribute the pain.   We are choosing these companies because they haven't been fair in their hiring policies;   and we are choosing them because they can begin the process of saying they are going to support the needs and the rights of these men who are on strike.   And then they can move on town -- downtown and tell the Mayor to do what is right.
But not only that, we've got to strengthen  institutions.   I call upon you to take your money out of the banks downtown and deposit your money in Tri-State Bank.   We want a "bank-in" movement in Memphis.
Go by the savings and loan association.  I'm not asking you something that we don't do ourselves at SCLC.   Judge Hooks and others will tell you that we have an account here in the savings and loan association from the Southern Christian Leadership Conference.   We are telling you to follow what we are doing.   Put your money there.   You have six or seven  insurance companies right here in the city of Memphis.  Buy your insurance there.   We want to have an "insurance-in."
Now these are some practical things that we can do. We begin the process of building a greater economic base.   And at the same time, we are putting pressure where it really hurts.   I ask you to follow through here..." 
Martin Luther King, Jr.
