Seems to me they are sat on enough wealth to solve the worlds Austerity problems and the fact the richest individuals and companies hide away an estimated $18.5 trillion in tax havens is proof to my mind they simply are not interested in any of this trickling anywhere. Certainly not down to the poor.
Here in the UK we have a chancellor who says he will raise £12bn by targeting the benefits received by the UK's working poor while the elite sit on a pile of cash that does no one any good.

As Caitlin Moran said on Twitter today - "And those 85 people are probably the ones you'd hand pick to run the world anyway".

She's lucky, she gets to write sarcasm for a living.
I could do the job much better.

Ah-ha, you'll never know, for my brand of sarcasm is subterfuge.

What is your base point to say that it isn't working? What are you comparing these figures to?
I for one would not mind someone as clever as Bill Gates having a say in how the world was run.

Your job is to say to yourself on a job interview does the hiring manager likes me or not. If you aren't a particular manager's cup of tea, you haven't failed -- you've dodged a bullet.

The thread says "Proof" the trickle down effect is a myth - where is the proof?
Just because the rich are getting richer it doesn't mean the poor are getting poorer?
It just means the rich are getting richer quicker than the poor are getting less poor - if that is not too much of tongue twister
