OMG, I'm going to die!

Egypt died when 97% of her wealth became centred in not more than 3% of her people.

Babylon—still worse—for she fell when 98% of her wealth belonged to 2% of the people.

Persia died when 1% owned the realm, and Rome fell when two thousand of her nobles owned the known earth.

Now the richest 1% bag nearly twice as much wealth as the rest of the world put together over the past two years.

OMG, I'm going to die!
