The Young Turks

Published on Sep 15, 2013

“…The richest 1% of Americans collected a greater share of household income last year than at any time in the last century, according to a new analysis of IRS data going back to 1913. The wealthiest Americans took a hit during the recent financial crisis, with their wealth plummeting 36% between 2007 and 2009. But since then, the net worth of the flushest among us has rebounded sharply, buoyed by rising corporate profits and stock prices. In 2012, 19.3% of all household income in the U.S. went to the top 1% of earners, their greatest share since 1928. Incomes for the top 1% rose nearly 20% last year, while incomes for the remaining 99% increased by just 1%…”.* The Young Turks host Cenk Uygur breaks it down.

Oxfam: 85 richest people as wealthy as poorest half of the world

As World Economic Forum starts in Davos, development charity claims growing inequality has been driven by ‘power

The world’s wealthiest people aren’t known for travelling by bus, but if they fancied a change of scene then the richest 85 people on the globe – who between them control as much wealth as the poorest half of the global population put together – could squeeze onto a single double-decker.

The extent to which so much global wealth has become corralled by a virtual handful of the so-called ‘global elite’ is exposed in a new report from Oxfam on Monday. It warned that those richest 85 people across the globe share a combined wealth of £1tn, as much as the poorest 3.5 billion of the world’s population.

The wealth of the 1% richest people in the world amounts to $110tn (£60.88tn), or 65 times as much as the poorest half of the world, added the development charity, which fears this concentration of economic resources is threatening political stability and driving up social tensions.

It’s time to ‘Even it up’

The gap between rich and poor is out of control. Oxfam’s ‘Even It Up’ campaign aims to do something about it.

Join our ‘Even It Up’ campaign and be in at the start of something special – a growing global movement demanding a fairer world and an end to inequality.

Extreme inequality is threatening to undo much of the progress made over the past 20 years in tackling poverty. But the situation is not inevitable – it’s the consequence of political and economic choices. Things don’t have to be this way.

Together, we can end extreme inequality

We can even things up if we all demand that governments across the world make the right economic and political decisions.

  • We can change the rules on tax to make sure the richest pay their fair share.
  • We can demand more spending on public health and education to give poor people a fighting chance.
  • We can demand fair wages for everyone.
  • We can make sure the poorest people have a voice, and that it is heard by those in power.
