I agree
I see that everyone jumped all over the Gates comment but I agree with your point. 1.13 trillion dollars and that is just the top four hundred. I wonder what the amount is if it were the top five thousand? And this is just in the U.S! Let's look globally at the top .5 percent of wealth and see what that totals up to. Enough to level the playing field for many needy people is a gross understatement.
