DAVOS, Switzerland (AP) -- The gap between the super-rich and the poorest half of the global population is starker than previously thought, with just eight men, from Bill Gates to Michael Bloomberg, owning as much wealth as 3.6 billion people, according to an analysis by Oxfam released Monday. Presenting its findings on the dawn of the annual gathering of the global political and business elites in the Swiss ski resort of Davos, anti-poverty organization Oxfam says the gap between the very rich and poor is far greater than just a year ago. It's urging leaders to do more than pay lip-service to the problem. If not, it warns, public anger against this kind of inequality will continue to grow and lead to more seismic political changes "It is obscene for so much wealth to be held in the hands of so few when 1 in 10 people survive on less than $2 a day,"
The Gang of Eight (snigger), all white males: Bill Gates, Amancio Ortega(White skin Spaniard), Warren Buffett, Carlos Slim Helu (White-skin Mexican, net worth about 6 percent of Mexico’s gross domestic product), Jeff Bezos, Mark Zuckerberg, Larry Ellison, and Michael Bloomberg.
