The Rich get Richer, The Poor get Poorer.

• Forbes Magazine published information that the 200 richest working people in the world had a net worth of over $1,000,000,000,000.00 (one  trillion) U.S., over 2 times what they had a decade ago
   
•  A decade ago the 200 richest working people in the world had a net worth of $463,000,000,000.00 (463 billion) U.S. 
   
• $1,000,000,000,000.00 represents the net worth of the bottom half of the worlds population.The world will have a population of six billion people sometime in 1999.
   
• It takes the combined net worth of three billion of the poorest people in the world to match the top 200 richest working people´s net worth.
   
• Average net worth of the top 200 richest working people in the world $5,000,000,000.00 which is 15 million times more than the average poor person.
   
• Average net worth of the bottom half of the world population $334.00 U.S.
   
• Guess which half Manitoba's First Nation people are in.

Is one person equivalent to 15 million poor people?

The government which you elect may no longer have the power to bring about change.  The world´s 200 richest working people have more money than most governments.

Absolute power corrupts absolutely.
