    The Rich Get Richer........

    NEW YORK - Suppose all of the world's wealthiest people got together and pooled their assets into one lump sum. How much money would that be?
    According to a report released Wednesday, the combined wealth of the globe's richest individuals rose more than 11 percent to a grand total of $37.2 trillion last year.
    The rise marks the first double-digit increase in seven years.

    Thanks to a strong global economy, 9.5 million people held at least $1 million in financial assets — excluding the value of their primary homes — in 2006, up from 8.7 million in 2005, according to the 11th annual World Wealth Report compiled by Merrill Lynch & Co. and the consulting firm Capgemini Group.
    9.5 million is a very small percentage of the world population and they don't mention that due to inflation a million dollars does not buy what it use to.

    People will say that the richest pay by far the most taxes.
    No one mentions the tax returns they get.
