Study: 62 people own as much wealth as half the world's population
The report says that the number of wealthy people who claim half of the world's wealth has gone down from 80 just a year ago, and from 388 in 2010.
Over that same amount of time, the top 62 saw their fortunes increase by half a trillion dollars, while the bottom 50 percent — 3.6 billion people — lost an estimated $1 trillion.
Republicans say that isn't enough. They want to cut taxes for corporations and billionaire so they have enough money to "create jobs".
And they are so stupid, they honestly believe US corporations pay the most corporate taxes in the world. Where do you find these people? I know, I know, it has to be damp.
