Yes. It depends on what this human is willing to bring to the table. If it's a lazy idiot getting Government money and doing nothing else, then he's not worth the same compared to a rich person who owns multiple successful businesses and provides jobs to hardworking individuals.

the richest 62 people are all trying to force globalism, nothing will ever take their wealth away, and certainly not your silly "socialist revolution"

All that will do is finish off the middle class and make everyone equally poor while the same global elite get even richer and control more aspects of your life.

Because monetary wealth is flows through all levels of society. Just because the 62 have control of that wealth doesn't mean they're the only ones who benefit from it. Those people likely employ hundred of millions of people around the globe

Half the world is subsistence farming, which by definition doesn't accumulate wealth.

A lot of the non subsistence farmers are in debt due to mortgages/car loans/etc so they have negative wealth

>the person with less money has a nice sweater
Exactly. It sounds funny on a smaller scale, but think of how people constantly take credits to buy all kinds of stupid, over-priced shit and become wage slaves for life. It means that, after paying their monthly debts to the rich, they have just enough money to not starve to death. They are kept alive with minimal investment, their labour is free and they even get to choose a gift occasionally, that is regarded as 'expensive'.

What do you mean by this? Money represents an ability to levy goods and services from people. There is nothing wrong with somebody having created 1 billion times more value for the world than another. Do you actually believe that a person who has created 1 billion times more value than another deserves to have any less than 1 billion times the ability to exchange back for that value?

Now, if you mean "worth" in the philosophical sense of "what is the value of a human life?", it's unfortunately a subjective measure. I would argue that many people have negative value and should be killed. Some people have no value and their existence is inconsequential. Some body have extremely little value. Some people have 1 billion times the value of others. Some people have had incalculable value.

I don't care who has wealth, as long as they get it in a non-coercive way.

The problem with the 1% isn't that they're rich, it's that they use governments to rig the game. Governments should be shrunk down and not interact with markets. Then we can watch and see who protests.

One human being contributes 100000000x to society as another. It's that simple.

Are you telling me aids niggers in ethiopia are producing anything of value? Compare with, say, a heart surgeon in the civilized world saving lives on a daily basis. Little Mutumbu has three cents to his name, while the doctor earns 3 million a year, or 100000000x as much. Seems right to me.

Because in capitalist societies, money buys power (see: regulatory capture, monopolies, special interest funds, lobbying etc).

Buying power means power is concentrated in the hands of the wealthy few.

History has shown time and again that concentrating power in a small number of people leads either to ruinous war (WWI, WWII) or brutal revolution (see: 1918 Russia).

>Richest 62 people have half the world's wealth

That isn't true and doesn't even remotely approach truth.

Let's imagine that every single one of those sixty-two richest people all had the same amount of wealth: $53.5 billion USD. That assumption is extremely far from the truth; the fiftieth richest person has less than than $15 billion, for instance. But, to give your incredulous claim the best possible chance, let's pretend.

53.5 billion multiplied by 62 equals 3.317 trillion. 3.317 trillion is substantially less than the GDP of Germany, a country which makes up 4.3% of global GDP, not 50%. Furthermore, global gross domestic product is not the same as global wealth. Global GDP only represents how much has been spent in a year, not the total amount of wealth in the world. Global wealth is around $241 trillion, leading our imaginary collection of 62 people with $53.5 billion USD each to represent only 1.37% of all the money in the world.

So, even if we pretended that all sixty-two of the richest people on Earth have the same wealth as Carlos Slim, they'd still represent only less than one a half percent of the world's wealth.

The reason it can be said that 2% of the world's population controls 50% of the world's wealth isn't because those 2% of individuals are insanely rich, but because the bottom 50% of individuals are insanely poor—within a margin of error from jack squat.
>>
>>68268522
Go ahead and call out the jew. If you SJWS are gonna be at least somewhat useful, fight Das Juden for us.
>>
>>68281605
I'll also add onto this that aggregating wealth includes subtracting your outstanding debts, even debts you don't have to pay immediately (like mortgage payments), from your assets. In other words, a man with a six figure salary and a new car actually has a net worth of less than zero dollars if he recently bought himself a house, and is therefore near the bottom of that bottom 50%—a lawyer in a Ferrari with a multi-million dollar mansion can absolutely be in the bottom percentile of wealth if he bought it all on credit.

tl;dr OP is factually wrong, and figures on income inequality can be incredibly misleading.
