Here's more fake news!
DAVOS, Switzerland (AP) — The gap between the super-rich and the poorest half of the global population is starker than previously thought, with just eight men, from Bill Gates to Michael Bloomberg, owning as much wealth as 3.6 billion people, according to an analysis by Oxfam released Monday.
Presenting its findings on the dawn of the annual gathering of the global political and business elites in the Swiss ski resort of Davos, anti-poverty organization Oxfam says the gap between the very rich and poor is far greater than just a year ago. It's urging leaders to do more than pay lip-service to the problem.
That is a lie.
I've shown it to be a lie on several occasions.....
Mostly, it's in the way they measure 'Net Worth' or Net Wealth.
They don't include Primary residence or pensions. Most Americans and many others, have their 'wealth' tied up in Private Property, which isn't included in the lame-brain's estimates.
So, Johnny B Goode, has a house worth $300k and around $20k in the Bank with a Pension coming in -- He's actually considered poor.
His pension might be $7 or $8k a Month, but he's considered to be poor.
But if he sells his house and rents an apartment, he's all of the sudden considered rich because he's got cash in the bank.
Those stories are just so much pablum for the gullible -- IOW, dimocraps
Many are your Bold Assertions, Citizen....
But I'm curious......where did you spend all this time studying the Dismal Science?
It's called common sense. You wouldn't get it
