Last night on the Daily Show, Jon Stewart skewered the hypocrisy of a bunch of white rich men getting together to worry about economic inequality — as they enjoyed the luxury of the salons of the Swiss Alps. “Inequality!” Stewart cried. “They’re talking about it in the cigar lounges and the champagne pavilions! In the cocaine-atoriums! They’re talking about it inside the same shared escorts.” As for the extent of this inequality, how"s this for a shocking statistic: The poorer half of the world — all 3.5 billion of them — have the same amount of money as the richest 85 people. Don"t miss his scathing satire:
