    So Oxfam reported that 26 super rich people own as many assets as 3.8 billion people who make up the poorest half of the world's population.

    Would this be because they avoid taxes and pay employees as little as possible?

    Is this sustainable, is it moral?

    It seems these world financial crashes are very good news for the filthy rich who are becoming filthier.

    Never can understand why the general pleb is so keen to defend a small % of billionaires.
