    82% of the global wealth generated last year went to just 1% of the world's population. These are among the findings of a study released by Oxfam.https://usat.ly/2DUGazH

        So? That 1% is who CREATED that wealth. The tweet makes no logical sense and is apparently aimed at emotional response (envy politics). The people who created the wealth received the wealth is like saying the person who picked an apple has an apple.

        That’s because they’re in the richest man in the world contest, meanwhile they’re soaking up most all the free money in circulation. But spending huge chunks of it, unless done like Musk, would cause economic inflation, like the Aztec gold did to Europe about 250 years ago.

        Whats your point? Seriously.. . What is your point?!? Another question, and I'll anxiously await your response. Was any of that wealth acquired by taking wealth from the other 99%?

        Is it's time for a worker's revolution? Those doing the work should get their fair share of the capital....because there is no capital without labor!

        I think that's been happening for a long time. Not just last year.

        They just dont care. No one does. Poor get buried in modern day economics. World needs to revolutionize in thinking or face a violent end.

        It's not about everyone getting a trophy, its about not exploiting the poor. Everyone that participated in the creation of that wealth should get a piece.
