Benz......no one is asking for a cush. Some kind of fairness would be nice. There are a lotta people who work hard and don't have much to show for it. the deck is stacked. This says it all.

A study by the World Institute for Development Economics Research at United Nations University reports that the richest 1% of adults alone owned 40% of global assets in the year 2000, and that the richest 10% of adults accounted for 85% of the world total. The bottom half of the world adult population owned barely 1% of global wealth. Extensive statistics, many indicating the growing world disparity, are included in the available report, press releases, Excel tables and Powerpoint slides.[5] Moreover, another study found that the richest 2% own more than half of global household assets.[6] Despite this, the distribution has been changing quite rapidly in the direction of greater concentration of wealth.[7]

And that ain't right or fair.
