Gee an organization looking for inequality and that's suppose to be
neutral..
But let's look at the facts.
Elon Musk: Net Worth Around $200 Billion. ...
Jeff Bezos: Net Worth Around $195 Billion. ...
Mark Zuckerberg: Net Worth Around $180 Billion. ...
Larry Ellison: Net Worth Around $140 Billion. ...
Warren Buffet: Net Worth Around $133 Billion...
Bill Gates: Net Worth Around $130 Billion. ...
divided among 330 Million people = about $3,000 per person.
So show us the 165 Million people that have less than $3,000 in total
wealth.
Point Set Match..
Rudy, might help if you did some basic fact checking rather than just
swallowing everything as usual.
