the 62 wealthiest people own as much as the bottom 50% [View all]

Thats insane...

heres my proposal. it couldnt be done in all the world but it certainly can be done in the us,western europe and a lot of the developed world..



take the 100-200 richest people in the world.
seize 50% of their wealth.
if they complain make it 90%
use the money to raise literally 100's of millions out of poverty

that will still leave tthe super wealthy with 100+ million dollars each

call is socialism,communism,whatever that fact that 62 people own that much is nuts.

as mr spock says... the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few
