Off-topic, but I must share: The World's 85 Richest People are as Wealthy as the Poorest 3 Billion.

This statistic is making the rounds as something we're supposed to be appalled by. And they're right--I am appalled. I'm appalled that government corruption, waste, and interference have impoverished so many people to such an extent.

I've noticed that at least some of the news coverage makes the usual mistake--assuming that there's a fixed pie that we all should be sharing equally, rather than understanding that the pie can be made larger, or, the way things have been going for a while, smaller.

How many of those 85 are themselves beneficiaries of government corruption, waste, interference, and kleptocracy?

[Pro Libertate]

I don't think we want to know.

Would be a handy cite to throw back against this pablum. Eat away at both sides of their argument: not all wealth is the result of theft, and theft is perpetuated by states.
