BBC News - Oxfam seeks 'new deal' on inequality from world leaders
Total national income is a finite number representing the total income earned by all workers in a particular economy. One percent of workers increasing their share of total income by 60% over two decades means that 1) the rich guys bribed governments for favorable tax and trade policies that 2) guaranteed poverty for billions of other human beings."The richest one per cent of the world's population had increased its income by 60% in the last 20 years, Oxfam said."The poor poor pitiful poor...

Yes, why wouldn't it be?
Wealth is not finite. That is the mistake that socialists and left wing nuts make. They assumethat wealth is finite and that if someone else is rich that means that 1, they can't be rich themselves, or 2, the rich guy took it from me.

My income is up 400%+ in the last 20 years. I'm gaining on them.

Because 100 people will never "earn" $2.4 billion a year?

If you're assuming a government that functions for the benefit of the richest 1% at the expense of the 99%, how do elites among the hoi polloi manage to steal 25% of the income in a single decade?

I don't think anyone wants to just divide it up. What we want is for jobs to pay a living wage. For the rich to employe them. Benefits for all. What we have now is the elite few hording the wealth. It's not helping anyone, not even them. Spread it around and the start to that is a law requiring a living wage for all employees everywhere. And yeah, the money comes from the rich. Eventually everything will even out. Yeah, there will still be rich, but they won't be quite so much wealthier than everyone else and no one will be starving or begging.

If we're talking about income as a stream flowing into a national reservoir called wealth, all I'm saying is that over the last several decades 1% of the population has bribed Republicans AND Democrats for tax policies shifting the burden of taxation from FIRE sector incomes to labor and consumers.Total national income is a finite number representing the total income earned by all workers in a particular economy. One percent of workers increasing their share of total income by 60% over two decades means that 1) the rich guys bribed governments for favorable tax and trade policies that 2) guaranteed poverty for billions of other human beings.Yes, why wouldn't it be?

I didn't say that the national income wasn't finite. I said wealth is not finite. Our system, our economy, isn't closed. You are talking about an imaginary number. I'm talking about reality.
Poor Marie Antoinette lost her head over that.Let them eat cake...

It has nothing to do with government and everything to do with human nature
Greed, hoarding, and theft don't seem like traits likely to sustain humanity in the long run.
A small minority of humans over the past few hundred years have discovered how to leverage the power of all governments into vast private fortunes for themselves. Any government that actually based its laws on one person one vote could change that.
