how could you expect them to be competant ebough to do the organizing required to spend the money in am effective way as to solve all the worlds problems.

I don't expect them to.

The governments of the world need to step up, sieze these assets, and use them to solve the problems of the world

Yes, a global, unified governmental body who's sole purpose is to better life on this planet, would be a good start. Give them a trillion dollars and see how dramatically better our existence can become.

Really, another way of putting is that if wealth was distributed more effectively (i.e. no such thing as billionaires and nobody is poor), then everyone would have a common goal to keep things balanced, lest they lose it all to a handful of rich guys.
