This is prosperity being stolen from us!

50% of the worlds wealth stolen from us by the 1%.

I wasn't clear enough:

Top 1% owns about 43% of global wealth, top 10% controls roughly 76% of global wealth, bottom 50% holds less than 2% of global wealth.

Here is how I like to think of it: if your total assets are less than $10,000, you are much closer to being in the bottom 50% of the global wealth distribution than the top 1%. Our prosperity is stolen from us each and every day. Our miraculous achievements and discoveries consumed by a system that only cares about funneling the largest portion of that prosperity to a few.
