The world's 100 richest people earned a stunning total of $240 billion in 2012 ? enough money to end extreme poverty worldwide four times over, Oxfam has revealed, adding that the global economic crisis is further enriching the super-rich.

?The richest 1 percent has increased its income by 60 percent in the last 20 years with the financial crisis accelerating rather than slowing the process,? while the income of the top 0.01 percent has seen even greater growth, a new Oxfam report said.

For example, the luxury goods market has seen double-digit growth every year since the crisis hit, the report stated. And while the world's 100 richest people earned $240 billion last year, people in "extreme poverty" lived on less than $1.25 a day.


Simply disgusting....

Warren Buffet is far too great a man to mention in a way that may cause any resentment :0074 :toast:

It seems to me O has been pushing this for sometime but Boehner and the neocons here develop a hemrhoid over the thougt of raising or making sure they pay their taxes. After all if we tax the ultra rich, they will just lay off people and not create jobs.

Furthermore it could be going to the 2 people who abuse the system rather than the 10 who
Need it
