. The top 1% have captured nearly twice as much new wealth as the rest of the world during that period, according to Oxfam’s annual inequality report, released Sunday. Their fortune soared by $26 trillion, while the bottom 99% only saw their net worth rise by $16 trillion. And the wealth accumulation of the super-rich accelerated during the pandemic. Looking over the past decade, they netted just half of all the new wealth created, compared to two-thirds during the last few years.
“So much of that fresh cash ended up with the ultra-wealthy, who were able to ride this stock market surge, this asset boom,” Ahmed said. “And the guardrails of fair taxation weren’t in place.” Also, many corporations have done well in recent years. Some 95 food and energy companies have more than doubled their profits in 2022, Oxfam said, as inflation sent prices soaring. Much of this money was paid out to shareholders.
To quote a very old saying the rich get richer the poor get poorer true sad as it is
Ok?
~ so THAT’s where all of my egg money went… the GREED!
Guess that’s the best in 40+ years to. Better give credit to our current president
Past 2 years? Try since the 80’s. It’s just become staggering how much more so in the past two years.
Maybe if uncle sam stopped taking 30% of what I earn things wouldnt be so bad for me. Just saying.
Maybe just maybe because of the Tax cuts Trump and Republicans put into play during his administration. I don't know just a thought.
Maybe Democrats shouldn’t have been blowing out the bank for the past two years… 🤡
Weird, was there a change of leadership or something two years ago?
Due to Democrat policies
Should have reported this 3 years ago it’s called covid
Nothing new only the Pareto principle reflecting that intelligence, like talent and beauty is not equally distributed by nature.
Thank god for trickle down. It truly is a trickle. BottomUpEconomicsWorksBest
So.
This guy quite admires the folks living in camps. Even the billionaires can see them. Worse scenario...world financial collapse.
Huh maybe it was crap news organizations like yours thank constantly b..ched about mom and pop companies being allowed to open under covid but seemed fine with corporations staying open. Wonder why they made such large profits.
The amount of wealth held by the top 1% compared to everyone else is absolutely ridiculous. We need to promote capitalism and ensure fairness through progressive taxation, breaking up monopolies and super large corporations, and stronger antitrust laws. AmericaDeservesBetter
Let's eat
Yes we know
Of course
Annnnnd now your back to the narrative….
Still it is the smallest gap between richest and poorest in human history!! It has never been so peaceful and prosperous time, so you could be born worse😅
No kidding! Thanks to the support given the former, and depraved President. SlavaUkraine 🇺🇦⚖️
Yup like him👇
Must be amazing and talented and hard working people
'Though their riches have slipped somewhat over the past year' Somewhat. LOL.
Then everyone should step up their game instead of bitching about the rich. Stop crying. cnn you’re trash.
Of course. CapitalistCountry As long as Congressional Members are allowed to accept unlimited amounts from corporate donors & be Allowed to invest in such companies/industries, the 'people' will NEVER be 'Fully Represented', as one is led to believe.💯
Be sure to check
They invest in other people's misery, no wonder.
Pareto principle amplified by Keynesian economics which push consumerism over savings and wealth building. Some are truly victims, but most lack discipline or dedication to overcome it. Plus, our govt likes taxing people way too much.
They printed trillions and gave ite to the cronies. The only result is that the public faced massive inflation.
Well at least I’ve got my gas stove.
Shocking! Says no one
No kidding!!! 😂
Thanks to the tax cuts that REPUBLICANS have given them. Yet poor republicans still vote for them. Pathetic!
That's because it takes money to make money!
Hmmm….. it’s like the government shut down small businesses and their employees in favor of big corporations. It’s like the government forced everyone to take unproven chemicals or face unemployment, to benefit big pharma with no liability. It’s a mystery.
Are your bosses at cnn getting richer or poorer?
Well, I mean yeah. Of course. If you never put bank robbers in prison, they’ll keep getting richer too. Duh 🙄
CNN sucks.
Yep, and I wonder what ass hat made it easier for them by cutting the 1 percents taxes.... Oh that's white.I mean, right. Trump
Because the government destroyed small businesses and families savings while media cheered it on.
And who's been president over that time?
It might have something to do with how Biden’s IRS is handling things
'...Far faster than everyone else...' is a weird way of saying most people have been getting poorer.
No shit you helped them lock us down while deeming them essential and calling them heroes.
Envy is a deep character flaw.
Rub it in...
I’m guessing the gas company CEO’s.
SHARE YOUR MONEY. THIS NOT RIGHT. 💔
Most of us know that
Racheal Meadows lies Shifty schiff.. forever lying.. CNN always lying. German worse.. Global warming .. carbon footprint reduction.. BRITAIN just reopened Cromwell coalmine.. Lying.. lying.. lying.. lying..
To fight terrorism in the world. For a Middle East without the brutality. IRGCterrorists
No amount of wealth can buy happiness, yet billions of dollars put into helping others get clean water, adequate food and medical care will provide happiness for both them and yourself. Happiness comes free with service to others!
Damn republicans who have held the presidency, house and senate the last 2 years!!!
That includes the execs at CNN
While they are getting richer, the poor and lower middle class are getting poor far faster.
😳😳😳
That’s what happens when you enforce democrat policies and shut down businesses for no reason.
