The sad thing is, throw in another 84 people, and that cartoon is entirely accurate.

As the World Economic Forum begins in Davos, Switzerland, Oxfam International has released a new report called, "Working for the Few," that contains some startling statistics on what it calls the "growing tide of inequality."

The report states:

Almost half of the world's wealth is now owned by just one percent of the population.
   
The wealth of the one percent richest people in the world amounts to $110 trillion. That's 65 times the total wealth of the bottom half of the world's population.

The bottom half of the world's population owns the same as the richest 85 people in the world.

Seven out of ten people live in countries where economic inequality has increased in the last 30 years.

The richest one percent increased their share of income in 24 out of 26 countries for which we have data between 1980 and 2012.

In the US, the wealthiest one percent captured 95 percent of post-financial crisis growth since 2009, while the bottom 90 percent became poorer.

It'll be my turn to be the one percent soon though, right?

[Junkenstein]

Only if you work hard and apply yourself.

And don't do any of the following:

Where's the part about Japan suckerpunching America, so America sets Japan on fire?

[Cain]

That happens in a different pub, 20 years later.

[Junkenstein]

Yeah, Germany went a little crazy after they stole his wallet.

Rougher neighborhood, a few years later.

[LMNO]

Whoops.  Wrong apocalypse.  My bad.

[The Good Reverend Roger]

Whoops.  Wrong apocalypse.  My bad.

There's really not much point separating the two, to be honest.  WWII is like Germany spent the next couple of days making pals with Italy and Japan, then went back into the bar with lead pipes in their hands.
