And now there's this...
RICHEST 1% OWN HALF THE WORLD'S WEALTH.
Credit Suisse report highlights increasing gap between the super-rich and the remainder of the globe’s population
At the other end of the spectrum, the world’s 3.5 billion poorest adults each have assets of less than $10,000 (£7,600). Collectively these people, who account for 70% of the world’s working age population, account for just 2.7% of global wealth.

Then there's this video, which illustrated to me how little I really knew about who has all the money in America... and yes, I'll admit, I found the video a little shocking, and now being as this video is 4 years old, it's only worse now, and not by any linear scale...
My point with this thread isn't that I'm a commie, or even a socialist, but that I do believe that the deck is stacked in the riches favor. They can afford to lobby and buy the politicians, and the poor slobs on the bottom have to just piss off because they can't do anything about it anyway. I just hate stacked decks. I hate influence peddling. I hate lobbying. I have nothing against the rich. I have nothing against someone wanting to be rich. I do have something against the rich using their money to screw the people that have no way to fight back, so they just get milked.
