As a matter of fact a large percentage of seemingly ‘rich’ countries live in poverty too. Here is current tweet by Dr Jason Hickel on the subject:

*28% of all new income from global GDP growth over the past 40 years has gone to the richest 1% (all millionaires). *

In other words, nearly one third of the labour we’ve rendered, the resources we’ve extracted, the CO2 we’ve emitted has been done to make rich people richer.
