Wealth inequality stands at its highest since the turn of the 20th century - the so-called 'Gilded Age' - as the proportion of capital held by the world's 1,542 dollar billionaires swells yet higher. The report, undertaken by Swiss banking giant UBS and UK accounting company PwC, discusses the roles technology and globalization play in the status quo, and appears two weeks after the IMF recommended that the rich should pay more tax to address the enormous disparity.

    Why do you consider that more important that an answer to your demand? Perhaps such grandstanding is beneath you?

    I want TMB's opinion, that is all. Not any opinion, but his.

        I'm sorry for the misunderstanding. I went back to my post and realized that it can be read perfectly as anybody/everybody being asked and that was not my intent. I apologize.
