The Nairobi-headquartered charity said in a report released ahead of the annual World Economic Forum of political and business leaders in Davos, Switzerland, that women around the world work 12.5 billion hours combined each day without pay or recognition. “It is important for us to underscore that the hidden engine of the economy that we see is really the unpaid care work of women. And that needs to change,” Amitabh Behar, CEO of Oxfam India, told Reuters in an interview.
“And on the one hand you see the billionaires who are all assembling at Davos with their personal planes, personal jets, super rich lifestyles,” he said.
Oh no, who had ever thought that money would be divided equally.. such shame.. Oh the humanity.. Just kidding, the corrupt and destructive system won't fail us again 🤞

To fight this, top Oxfam execs party every year with these same 2,153 people in Davos.
Real solution to energize hidden engine AmitabhBehar OxfamIndia is to disburse dead capital lying in Tax Sanctuaries by virtue of Sovereign Bonds sans LTCG . Hope BibekDebroy ji NSitharaman ji & SubramanianKri can formulate such a plan for NarendraModi ji🙏 in Budget2020
It's called Pareto Principle which can be combated with Monopoly Laws, so why aren't they?
Of course they do. No surprise.
And?
Is that the same Oxfam who's staff paid prostitutes for sex in Haiti during earthquake recovery - that they then covered up? What do they do with the money again?
On the other hand, 1,409 richest Americans pay more taxes than 70 million poorest and top 10% pay more than bottom 90%. People get rich by creating wealth for themselves and their countries. Countries without corporations are poor.
Top 10% of this 2153 would be having more than 50% of the wealth. You can play with data to present whatever picture you want but the fact is that money is highly concentrated and inequality extremely high. CapitalIn21stCentury
Ridiculous. Look at your choice of words. Control the money, maybe. But not the population. You need an editor.
And many of them will be in Dovos figuring out how to suck out more money from the rest of us.
These couple billion people should really pick themselves up by the bootstraps and work themselves up the ladder a bit
12.5 billion hours owed by whom? The husbands, the children, the State...? And where is it written that raising your OWN kids is a job? And where are the unpaid hours for fathers? Unless someone suggests that NO father gets involved with his kids ever?
Why do people hate Bill Gates? He's one of the most prolific philanthropists of a generation!
And this pathetic life the poor only get poorer and the rich get richer!!
But 99% of men work daily on women the whole night without payment, as compared to less than 10% who assist men at night without pay. Anyway, Women rights music be protected WEF2020

Discount version of Bernie Sanders in the Middle picture
What does that have to do with these three men who work constantly? I love Warren, but he had one foot in the grave, and is still working.
& it’s not playing golf aka working
People need to stand up for themselves. If you think you're worth more, ask for more! Then maybe you get fired, and find out you're in fact worth much less 👍👍👍 and no law is going to change that.
we really don't give a f especially when it is from those responsible of that. Amazon is considering their workers as slaves. Capitalizm is responsible of that
You mean housework? Doesnt count.
Men put up with 15.7 billion hours of women's bitching and moaning each day, so I think it evens out.
So
Socialists around the world, unite!
Capitalism works for a few!
Make the World Feudal Again
Hmmm seems fair ... I can see they have obviously worked soooooooo much harder than anyone else....
Oxfam needed to tell MSM. Do your job you lazy so called journalist. Good job I have social media.
carefully ration our bites
You ever lend someone that's always broke money? They spend it in minutes on garbage..some of you wanna spread the wealth? Why so idiots can waste it? Might as well leave it where it is..

How many rich people does it take to hold more than the entire rest of the workd combined? My guess is 3.25 billion. Oh, and how many of that 4.6 billion live in countries governed by “people of color”? My guess is all of them.
A meaningless statistic. World poverty in the last 30 years has dramatically decreased to about 10%.
This will not end well.
Even more staggering number top 26 own more than 3.6bn people that 263,600,000,000 now that’s trickle down economics not working well. If they decide to donate only 50% of their wealth, we could eliminate poverty completely from the world.
And?
Man, more than half the worlds lazy.
And? Success in the digital age.
Disgraceful and they all know it.
Still we will invite these 2000 and listen from them that how to reduce the poverty.
Oh-My-GodOmniabsolute=Gravitational-Constant: Thus it's more to LIFE than wealth. The four(4) most mesmerizing & intriguing dispositions are . 1. POWER, 2. WEALTH, 3. FAME & 4. AESTHETICS. Albeit, HAPPINESS come from a person MINDSET. {styles, smiles & profiles}.(FYI & duh)!$!$
Life is never about absolute equality. There will always be differences in physique, IQ, EQ, education, exposure, experience, networking, opportunities, support system etc. Just that society expects the rich and privileged to assist others through taxes, tithes, donations.
Shameless
😢😢😢
We could be so much more.
In case you guys gonna make them give away their wealth with your articles, please sign me up as a recipient.
This is the reality world. Do you realize that when you are using tweet right now, you are actually sending money to few of richest people?
And they are all donating all of their money to the poor and middle class because they care about our well-being so much. Just like Bernie, Warren and Biden are giving up their millions to give us all a better life. Ha ha!
Cue socialist meltdown...
How many of the poorest 4.6 billion are kept poor by dictators, kleptocrats, sheikhs, juntas, and false leaders who rape their land and people
and
I am sure you meant to say 7 billion + people...
The lampposts are lonely...
That's why no billionaires please .... Not communism either ... Just plain compassion capitalism ... That will work ...
JFC! And here I am 'taking a break' from chemo simply because I can't afford it.
I’m going to spend the rest of my life resenting them
Time to raise taxes
Lookie there! Our newest Dem candidate is among them. He is truly a man for the little people.
On an entire world scale everyone that lives in America even unemployed are in the top 1% of earners
Where's Putin? He is the world's richest
this is not difficult, as billions of people 'hold' zero.... billions of people holding zero = zero
The poor are stupid.
Well I sure hope they're ready to write huge checks for dealing with what's coming in the climate.
Disgusting
If you distributed all of the world’s money evenly among the people, within 100 years, things would be back to the way it is now
You forgot to mention that all 2000 of them pay less taxes than all 4.6 billion civilians. * why would you delete this post and repost it? Is it because I left that comment on the previous post?
None of them are immortal
And I'll bet that not a single one is a liberal. Oh wait, most of them are.
but they have worked for it, wealth doesn't come so easily. It's upto them to help / distribute.
Instead of holding it, they could pay more taxes and it would circulate—
goals
How many are related to Joe Biden?
So?
Need better system to distribute nation's wealth.
Also, most of the richest are probably from US while poorest are not, so you can take it up with the United Nations or use the US as a template.
This disgusts me.
Yet rather than use their money to save the planet, they invent schemes for us to pay to save the planet
Smart & hardworking people always get to the top, some corrupt & dirty ones too. History shows no matter how many times you reset the game, the outcome is always the same. So the answer is not to reset the game, it has always been the middle ground between capitalism & socialism
That's a worthless piece of information.
What's wrong with that? Did they get through nefarious means or did they work hard and earn it? The latter is true. Stop the class warfare envy.
The poor need the rich and the rich need the poor. But at the end of the day if the poor didn’t work for the rich, what the fuck would the rich spend their money on?
And another question is: „How many of them are women?“ 🧐
I probably have more money than the million poorest combined, because the million poorest combined probably have less than fifty bucks. What the fuck is your point?
What a wonderful world
We fight wars, rape our environment, suppress human rights, allow starvation & suffering because of these monsters. No amount of their tax-evading 'philanthropy' can erase the damage they cause. Instead of fighting each other, we should concentrate our collective will on them.
Erdogan and his family have around 800bn$ wealth too where do they stand?
And it matters why?

Only a matter of time before a social revolution. There should be a real and enforceable limit on what someone can earn. Soon there will be zillionaires, foolish stupidity.
My thought in its' context:'Every rich person is neither responsible for poverty of poor nor liable to remove poverty of poor,its' the poor only that need to be blamed that inspite of poverty do not control their fantasies and births'... ASIFWORDS©
Did those 4.6 billion create one product that 4.6 billion people would use today?
Pushing class warfare? What does it matter what they have? If some people don't have enough to own a business then others don't have jobs. The only reason to bring them down is to replace them with new owners. Have you some one in mind, are you one of them? Useing us to take over
The only way to fightinequality is for people to stand up & participate in democracy, to demand action from our elected leaders, to vote & get others around us to do the same. Text Vote3 to 977-79 to get started in the fight against inequality today. WEF20
The reaction to tweets like this always reminds me of this quote.
Now that's a primary ingredient in a recipe for disaster
This reads like the Dulux colour selection when I paint my walls...
Invest in gulliotines. EatTheRich
Look here, maybe it's the leadership of the DeepState itself that shits on Democracy in the USA and sees normal, daily hard-working citizens only as a means of production, but doesn't respect them at all!

Capitalism Without Socialism Is Nepotism! BlackLivesMatter Indivisible
I also heard the % of eskimos in Alaska is greater than in Florida
So this means they paid more taxes than 4.6B people combined, right?
Ki
I wonder when they’ll build they’re own city? To keep the rif raf out.
Let this sink in “while unpaid or underpaid work by women and girls adds three times more to the global economy each year than the technology industry,”
It should not be so much about HOW MUCH they have, but rather, WHAT good are they doing with it?
Seems about right...
Oui c'est la vie, la la la la la
Stonk
In that 4.6 how many lives in a dictatorship or socialism/communism country? Because is not only about the money, is about how many opportunities they have in their country.
So why is EVERYONE trying to get into the US? Because there is opportunity to advance if your willing to work not because you exist
These people give an enormous amount to charity and good causes. There is also an enormous underground wealth within the elite criminal classes who choke the legitimate global economy. If you want to get bitchy about rich people, bitch about the criminal scum in this world!
Jeff B. Needs to pay his people more.
Kudos to them.
cool, now show the happiest 2000. i bet they're all dirt poor.
I think rule of jungle applies in all aspects of life.
And?....
Successful people, most of whom have created wealth. Good on them.
That’s just wrong! (How do I get in the top 2,000? Are they accepting applications?)
That’s amazing!! Especially considering almost ALL of them were in the bottom 4.6b Seems like the “system” works just fine if anyone can make it to the top 1%
And just about everyone of them is an Uber lefty go figure
They probably do more and have done more for the planet than the next richest billion or so - many of them anyway
Without the wealth of those rich people, those poor people would have long ago died of starvation. The alternative would have been to hope the government would be as efficient with use of capital, which is a joke. Corruption would have made it disappear.
I can find at least 4 billion people who would trade places with any of the 2000...
When will the poor rise up and take from the rich
So what, they have created hundreds of thousands of jobs.
How many got on this list because of Trumps tax break or George W’s?
capitalism
EatTheRich
Harry needs to memorise these 😂😂😂
it’s disgusting.
The odds don’t look good
That's RIDICULOUS
Yeah but they all for equality and have foundations!
But they earned it, right? Yeah, but no. Fuck capitalism.
We should not be surprised by this
So?
Unacceptable
