Ok, so I take it you are suggesting that we ignore the numbers listed above and smile and be happy that 10% of humans are hording 90% of humanity's wealth for themselves?
No offense, but I kinda doubt you and I are in the top 1% or top 10%, unless being a forum mod and forum blowhard pays a lot more than I realized. When is my check coming by the way?
And although I'm not positive, I'm not sure your math is right. When you reference you and me, I'm pretty sure you're leaving 90% of the money off the table. Perhaps you are assuming that middle class westerners hold most of the wealth and thus would have to sacrifice a lot? Is it true that we hold most of the wealth? The stats above seem to suggest otherwise.
As example, suppose we cashed out the top 10% and distributed their 90% share of wealth globally. Wouldn't everybody on Earth then be a lot richer?
I dunno. I've been self employed all my life. But the 2008 financial crisis kind of turned my head around and made me realize that the top dogs are often willing to rape all of us just to get more of what they already have way too much of.
Do you know if one can still buy those Chairman Mao caps on E-bay?
