Revolt, Anyone?

From the Times Online:
  • The richest 2% of human adults own more than 50% of the world’s total wealth.

  • The richest 10% of human adults own 85% of the world's total wealth.

  • The bottom 50% of human adults own barely 1% of the world's total wealth.

  • In terms of wealth distribution the US was among the most unequal.
To be fair, the United States has never claimed to be the land of equality, it's the land of opportunity. Yuk.
