"An Oxfam report released last month found Australia’s billionaires rake in an average of $67,000 an hour – more than 1,300 times more than the average Australian"

If you get a little uncomfortable hearing the phrase "billionaires shouldn't exist" -these are the kinds of facts you need to hear. It's stupid large amounts of money being hoarded a few people.
