The case for socialism

In case you have to explain it to someone who doesn't know what it means: http://socialistworker.org/2010/04/16/case-for-socialism

"The ranks of the astronomically rich thinned a bit as a result of the financial crisis that began in 2007. But according to Forbes, the world's 793 billionaires as of 2009 still had a combined worth of $2.4 trillion. That's twice the combined gross domestic product of all the countries of sub-Saharan Africa, according to the World Bank--and more than the total annual income of the poorest half of the world's population.

Yes, you read that correctly. There are 793 people with more money than 3 billion people."

A telling and brief illustration of the vulgarity in indulgence. The really sick and sad part is these folks actually believe they're not just entitled to more, but all.
