As the financial and political power mechanisms of the old ages are desperately trying to keep the public's faith in their corrupt and colluded banking and political institutions, income inequality has reached a critical peak.
The wealthiest 85 people on this Earth hoard as much wealth-$1.7 TRILLION-as the bottom 3.5 Billion, who often do not even have access to safe food, shelter or water and die early from preventable diseases.
As failed representatives like Obama address the income inequality problem publicly, most people don't realize that the real financial power mechanisms lie with Central Banks like The Federal Reserve (a privately and internationally controlled organization that has created $4 TRILLION in made up wealth for the elite since 2008 via "quantitive easing" and issued over $16 TRILLION in bailouts secretly to their favorite Banks and Institutions worldwide since the recession).
The percentage of income held by the richest 1% in the US has grown by nearly 150% since 1980. That small elite has received 95% of all wealth created since 2009 while the BOTTOM 90% OF AMERICANS HAVE BECOME POORER.
Before any of you elite wannabees come here defending the systematic corruption and collusion-you are not one of them and are not close to it. Even if you are a Multi-Millionaire, you are in reality just another pawn and one that pays a sh!+ ton in taxes to keep the system humming for the very few at the top. Look up the history of the Banks that were deemed "too big to fail" and who conspired to create the Federal Reserve.
I am not saying to pay everyone $25 per Hour, I am saying to put an end to shadow Governments and the corruption and collusion that runs rampant throughtout our financial institutions and the Governments they own.
Anyone with $0.01 in net worth owns more than 40% of the US population.
Anyone living on more than $10 per day ($300 per month on average for the arithmetic impaired) is richer than ~80% of the planet, according to a 2008 WHO study.
So one penny in net worth puts in top 60% Americans, and $10 per day puts you in wealthiest 20% of the planet. Aren't perspective and context wonderful things?
85 Richest People Own as Much as Bottom Half of World Population
The most perplexing part of this situation, is that its critics complain against the system that permitted the 85 to get rich...
...and NOT against the multiple worldwide systems that kept half the population of the world so destitute.
These "critics" definitely have their rose-colored glasses on backwards... among other things.
