The latest inequality report from the charity reveals that the world is now on track to have five trillionaires within a decade, a change from last year’s forecast of one trillionaire within 10 years.
The report, entitled Takers Not Makers, comes as many of the world’s political leaders, corporate executives and the super-rich travel to the Swiss ski resort of Davos for the annual World Economic Forum meeting from Monday.
Oxfam’s examination of billionaire assets also coincides with Donald Trump’s inauguration as US president. Trump is expected to include several billionaires in his team of close advisers, including the Tesla and SpaceX chief executive, Elon Musk, and to offer large-scale tax breaks to the wealthiest US citizens.
Can’t wait for the trickle to finally start
aaany day now
It already has, can’t you feel it? It’s that warm feeling that starts on your head and drips down.
The top birds look down and see shit. The birds at the bottom look up and see only arseholes.
You just summed up thousands of years of how hierarchy and class works and made it about bird shit.
It’s going in my cornflakes 😦
It’s going in my cornflakes 😃
Just one more tax cut bro, I promise you! Then it can finally start 🙏
Oh it will start. It will be flood not a trickle.
