6 Facts About Inequality in the World That Will Make You Shocked
There is no doubt that we live in an unequal world where a small number of people have far more than the rest of the world, where men earn far more than women, and where certain ethnicities have more opportunities than others.
However, according to a survey by Oxfam International, a confederation of 17 organizations and thousands of partners around the world focused on finding solutions to inequality and poverty, pointed out that the gulf between the super-rich population And the poor are bigger than you thought. Check out some discoveries that they did next: 
1 - Eight men together accumulate a fortune equivalent to the possessions of the 3.6 billion poorest people on the planet. That's right, dear reader, only eight. And the eight are male.
2 - Seven out of 10 people in the world live in countries that have experienced increases in inequality rates in the last three decades. 
3 - Although some billionaires have accumulated their assets through their business talent and hard work, more than half the world has accumulated their fortune through inheritance or thanks to business with a penchant for favoritism or corruption.
4 - If the rich continue to accumulate wealth at the same rate as now, within the next 25 years, the world will have its first trillionaire. Just so you have an idea of what being a trillionaire means, it would be necessary to spend $ 1 million a day for 2,738 years for this guy to spend all his money. 
5 - Inequality in the world has a particularly negative impact on women. If the current trend remains the same - with them experiencing high rates of discrimination in the workplace and receiving far fewer than male colleagues - it will take 170 years before women's wages match those of men. 6 - Tax evasion costs the poorest countries about $ 100 billion a year. That would be enough to cover the education of 124 million children without access to schools and to prevent the deaths of at least six million children with health care programs. SOURCE: MEGACURIOUS
"make you shocked" ancoms have always known this lol
ok,thank you
Ok, you get to the end, and then lose me.
The gender-wage gap, the story that women make 70 cents on the dollar, is complete bunk and has been disproven more times than should be necessary.
Women, by their choices, work in more comfortable but lower paid fields. They work less hours and less overtime. They do not work the highly dangerous, high paying jobs. Women are less motivated in seeking raises, etc.
But, if you take a man and a women, who work in the same field, with the same education level, with the same skills, working the same number of hours, then the woman makes 108% of what the man makes, 120% if you count in maternity leave.
And, by the way, with hiring quotas, the young male employment rate in america is estimated to be about 50%. That there is the future destruction of our country.
Tax evasion.
I would like everyone who reads this to stop being stupid.
When govern-cement says "tax the rich" they do not mean the top 8 people. They mean the two professional income families. This whole tax thing started as a "we will only tax the rich".
The real rich can never be taxed. And I mean never, as in we should never try / we are stupid if we try. The real rich make the laws, and so, any push in that direction will always come back to bite us.
The other reason the real rich never pay taxes is because of the way they make their money. If you own a stock and its value goes up, can you be taxed on that? The answer is no. If you work for a corporation as the CEO and make $1 per year (plus stock options) how much is your taxes? If you have a corporation that doesn't make any money (its income equals its expenses) but it buys and pays for the corporate mansion and the corporate car and the corporate dinners how much is your taxes?
Thank you, I liked the way you think.
