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.

    It interests me and it's exceedingly likely to have a whole lot of outright idiotic things said that need correcting. Plus it's morning coffee time and there's nothing else going on.

    Why focus on Presidents? Because they're the loudest voices preaching helping the people while fucking them in the ass. I have nothing against people looking out for their own interests but I despise hypocrites.
