691 control $2.2 trillion dollars each and every year. That would be similar to the 535 members of the House and Senate controlling that same amount, with one huge exception. These 691 are responsible to no one about any of their decisions. They are the non-elected, non-selected, self appointed neo-feudal lords of capital. Beneath them are another ten million or so individuals who control another $18.6 trillion of the earth's economy. If we take this crusty bunch of the human population, roughly 0.001% of them, we discover that they literally own more than 70% of the wealth of the entire planet. If ever there was a disproportionate schism between the rich and poor, we have now locked ourselves to it.
Even in the days of world wide feudalism between say 350--1500 CE, more of the poor had more access to more resources. Literally millions of people could access their needs without having to adhere to the edicts of their feudal lords. The neo-feudal lords are in fact so powerful that literally only those same few millions, in terms of numbers continue to have access, while billions of people must absolutely swear fealty, using the various forms of chosen currency, to acquire their basic needs. It is the dawning of a new age of unmitigatable disasters.
In 1980 the US government researchers determined that by 2050 200 million people will starve to death each year if the behaviors of the people of the planet did not change. They were wrong. The behaviors changed, for the worse, and we are already living with tens of millions starving to death each year. In fact thousands in the US are starving to death. Sure their deaths are reported as heart problems or kidney failure or liver problems, but that is what kills them finally. The principle cause is starvation. Here in this country, where without bowing on both knees to the lords of capital one will never be able to access any of one's needs.
