Money Isn't Everything

But Poor is Really Tragic
There's a new study analyzing the distribution of wealth in the world. The bottom 50% of the world's population control less than 1% of the world's capital.
The top 10% (including most middle class Americans) control 85% of all wealth.
The richest 1% control 40% of the world's assets.
Taxing the rich is unfair?
Why?
