"The richest 300 people on earth have as much wealth as the poorest 3 billion"

[cantbeserious]

"The following brief video created by TheRules.org, using data sourced from this website, is the latest vivid demonstration of the most adverse (and dangerous) side effect of nearly five years, and counting, of global monetary intervention by central banks: a world in which the poor get poorer, the rich get richer, and the middle class disappears. The video's punchline "The richest 300 people on earth have as much wealth as the poorest 3 billion" is not exactly correct: in truth the situation is even worse: the richest 200 people have about $2.7 trillion, which is more than the poorest 3.5 billion people, who have only $2.2 trillion combined."

3. The hardest thing to do is develop an actionable and reasonable step people can take to end systemic

unreasonable distribution of wealth.


It is like all the feudal leaders realized that people would work harder in their mines if they thought they were doing it by choice.

MORE! More more more more more.
