Quote:Richest One Per Cent Disappointed to Possess Only Half of World’s Wealth
Quote:“Quite frankly, a lot of us thought that by buying politicians, rewriting tax laws, and hiding money overseas, we were getting it done,” said Dorrinson, who owns the hedge fund Garrote Capital. “If, at the end of the day, all we control is a measly half of the world’s wealth, clearly we need to do more—much more.”

It's a satire.
Skepticism is not a position; it is an approach to claims.
Science is not a subject, but a method.

Don't be such an idiot. Minimalist posts a lot of stuff from this site and is well aware that it's satire -- in this case, satire with more than a hint of truth to it.

There wealth distribution is now like france during the last days of the Bourbons.
Something needs to be done to redress the balance.
Unfortunately every time someone tries the rich deploy their wealth to stop it, we are moving towards an Elysium future and I'm not sure we can stop it.
You can fix ignorance, you can't fix stupid.
