50% of wealth is controlled by people who have proven that they can manage money. Only government can fix that.

I think it’s a BFD! Life has always been this way. There are a bunch of risktakers with cash and they venture out to take risks....most of them end up sweeping the streets, some of them own Wall Street. That is what makes the world go around. Think Edison. Think George M. Cohan. Think Carnegie. Think of any of those famous inventors who cashed in - are they at any fault? Not in my book.

“Investors in finance, insurance and health” are making the most because they are Obama’s cronies, financed by government programs. So if their wealth is so objectionable, quit writing the laws to favor these groups that have lobbyists in every corridor of the Capitol, promising to give big to the Big Government politicians who vote for their business interests.

Why do liberals think the richest got that way by stealing it from people? Do they actually think if someone like say Bill Gates - when he created Microsoft and then sold the stock, that people on street stole money from people making them poor and gave it to him? Do they have ANY idea how many jobs were created by the computer industry? But that’s their thinking isn’t it, all these poor people exist because rich people stole it from them. Do they actually think if Gates never existed that people would have more money? If anything it is LIBERALS who steal money from people in the form of massive taxes, federal tax, local tax, city tax, the social security ponzi scam, and now the Obamacare scam. Not to mention the Gorebull warming scam of which Obama last week announced he is going to steal even more money from people by putting more regulations in place to “curb methane output from oil and gas companies” even though the percentage of Methane in the atmosphere is 0.00017% And what will be the result of that? Gas prices with go up and with it everything else.

Food for thought:

Princeton Study: U.S. No Longer An Actual Democracy

http://talkingpointsmemo.com/livewire/princeton-experts-say-us-no-longer-democracy

By BRENDAN JAMES
Published APRIL 18, 2014

A new study from Princeton spells bad news for American democracy—namely, that it no longer exists.

Asking “[w]ho really rules?” researchers Martin Gilens and Benjamin I. Page argue that over the past few decades America’s political system has slowly transformed from a democracy into an oligarchy, where wealthy elites wield most power.

What does an Oxfarm have to do with who has the money on the planet?

It does make it sound like there is an unlimited supply of $$$ that we can tax (take) from the rich so solve all societies ills:
free preschool, free college, free school meals (all meals), free housing, internet, cell phones, tutors..

I mean why does anyone have $$$ based needs with so much wealth.

Also, its cites “world’s wealth” but libs always claim we are a wealthy country.

Who lowered interest rates?

Money and wealth are not the same thing. Few understand this.

Even so, I very much doubt this ridiculous claim.

Oxfam is just another hard-left-wing anticapitalist group masquerading as something else. It’s an anti-hunger mask in the case of Oxfam.

Oxfam should look at the kind of government in the poorest countries in the world. They would find that people are far worse off in countries with totalitarian states (Cuba and N. Korea), Islamic theocracies (Iran) or kleptocracies (Zimbabwe, Haiti) and are better off in capitalist democracies.
