According to a report by British charity group OXFAM, economic and social inequality is growing faster than ever. As the global economy slumps, there are twice the number of billionaires than before the economy tanked. The world's 1,600 billionaires grow wealthier at a rate of US$700 million per day. The charity proposes a global 1.5% tax on the wealthiest to put and end to hunger, and to provide education and medicine to the planet's poorest. teleSUR
