Back to the medieval era?

According to Oxfam, the combined wealth of the richest 1 percent will overtake that of the other 99 percent of people by the end of this year unless the current trend of rising inequality is curbed.

Well, this is pretty scary as it suggests that tensions between the Haves and the Have-nots are likely to reach an explosive point and that we're likely to see major disruptions if not widespread revolts sprouting all over the world.

Is it already too late to reverse the trend? I hope not, but try to tell this to our right wing legislative majority? What is sadly true is that we've done a 180 degree turn back to feudal times...
