Bring 'Em Home! - BUMPED TO THE TOP FOR NOW

Spew alert!

Keely Mullen attends Northeastern University.


Forget college! Trying to get something into this young lady's head is an exercise in futility!

PASTORIUS CUTTING IN:

Here's an article which details some of the numbers that are being thrown around in this conversation between Cavuto and the young lady:

Eighty people hold the same amount of wealth as the world’s 3.6 billion poorest people, according to an analysis just released from Oxfam. 
The report from the global anti-poverty organization finds that since 2009, the wealth of those 80 richest has doubled in nominal terms — while the wealth of the poorest 50 percent of the world’s population has fallen. 
To see how much wealth the richest 1 percent and the poorest 50 percent hold, Oxfam used research from Credit Suisse, a Swiss financial services company, and Forbes’s annual billionaires list. 
Oxfam then looked at how many of the world’s richest people would need to pool their resources to have as much wealth as the poorest 50 percent — and as of March 2014, it was just 80 people. 
Four years earlier, 388 billionaires together held as much wealth as the poorest 50 percent of the world. 
Thirty-five of the 80 richest people in the world are U.S. citizens, with combined wealth of $941 billion in 2014. 
Together in second place are Germany and Russia, with seven mega-rich individuals apiece.
