Happy Dr. King Day! You dont have to shrug about this fact if it just so happens that youre a racist, because the Reverend Dr. King stood for a multitude of ideals that you can be enlightened by beyond civil rights. He entirely covered the field of social inequity, but arguably, most vigorously fought for the poor and wealth equality. Because of that, I would like to take this opportunity to remind you that the wealthiest top 1% of individuals worldwide have amassed just as much wealth as the bottom 99% of poorer individuals. Maybe it would be this alone, the fact that CEO pay has risen 480% of that of the average worker over the last decade and a half, or the fact that Bill Gates and fellow co-founder of Microsoft Paul Allen, alongside Warren Buffet, hold an equal amount of assets totaling the worlds 41 poorest nations - or, over 550 million people - but I would say that if King were alive today, it would be fair to assume that he would deeply question why it is that weve allowed this inexorable trend to continue.
