100% of the world owns 100% of the world's wealth. :lol:

According to the "World Institute for Development Economics Research at the UN University" the richest 2% of the world's population own 50% of the world's wealth. The poorest 50% of the population own 1% of the world's wealth.

Utopic socialist Heinz Dieterich wrote in his book "Capitalism of the 21th century" that some 20,000 magnates and their gang of profesional politicians are enough to keep humanity on its knees.

Cappies can whine anything they want about charity as an equalizing force, or the stability of the markets. The truth is that the numbers talk against them.
