This Year's New Resolution?

This Year's New Resolution?

The new year has started off with a bang

although not with much  cash overhang,

In a few days,  the richest have  lost 194 billion in trading

making an argument for economic democracy I'm parading :

The world's  population will today about    7.4 billion reach

 so spreading  that equally would mean only $26.22 each. 

That's all a matter of"you can  look it up" fact--

and even Bernie Sanders might not object to that.

If it's not too late for a New Year's resolution,

Let's  start with  this  new slogan for our revolution

and at the same time   feel a little sorry for a boss--

It's no longer  Share the Wealth,   it's Share the Loss.

The world’s 400 richest people lost almost $194 billion this week as world stock markets began the year with a shudder on poor economic data in China and falling oil prices.

Forty-seven billionaires lost $1 billion or more during the worst week for U.S. stocks since 2011, according to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index. The combined drop was almost seven times the $29 billion lost in the first five trading days of 2015. The 400 people on the index had a combined $3.7 trillion at the end of the week, compared with more than $4 trillion a year ago.
