Jan. 2018: According to an Oxfam
report just 42 people now hold as much wealth as the poorest
3.7 billion. In the U.S., the country’s 3 richest
people have the same wealth as the poorest half of the
American population.
In Jan. 2014 the number was 85 of the
world's richest people owned the same amount of wealth as
the bottom half of the global population and in Jan. 2017 it
was 61 people.
Think about it. The wealth of the 42
richest people = the wealth of the 3.5 billion
poorest.
And, the gap between the rich and the
poor is widening.
