So as I was looking at some news I noticed a disturbing trend. Apparently 85 people now hold more wealth than the lower fifty percent. Not of the United States, but the entire world. This startling statistic comes from a report called "Working for the Few". In this report it was also stated that there were 210 new billionaires in the world, from last year alone. While the middle class is shrinking, the poor are becoming poorer, this money is rising to the top of the pyramid. So if we take all the billionaires in the world today, they control more than sixty five times the wealth that the lower classes do.
