In Response to Oxfam Inequality Report, Sanders Calls for Global Movement to Counter 'Greed of Billionaire Class'

From the article:

Sen. Bernie Sanders, who has spent his several decades in politics fighting for working people and believes that "billionaires should not exist," responded to a new Oxfam International report on inequality by calling Tuesday for a global movement to pursue economic justice.
Oxfam, as Common Dreams reported Monday, found that "in 2019, the world's billionaires, only 2,153 people, had more wealth than 4.6 billion people." The report blamed this wealth disparity on the world's "flawed and sexist economic system" and urged governments across the globe to take "decisive action" to address it...…..

"According to a new report from Oxfam, the top 1% own more than twice as much wealth than the rest of humanity—combined," Sanders said in a statement. "Meanwhile, nearly half of the global population is trying to survive on less than $5.50 a day and 820 million are going hungry."
