Oxfam reported Wednesday that the 85 richest people on the planet have as much wealth as the poorest 3.5 billion people, half the world's population — a sobering and troubling fact to anyone with even a shred of a soul. Luckily, Kevin O'Leary doesn't have to worry about that.

The CBC News Network host and business commentator was confronted with this statistic on Monday's Lang & O'Leary Exchange, and his reaction was one of jubilation.

"It's fantastic," O'Leary told his co-host Amanda Lang.

According to this clown, half the planet living in abject poverty while a few dozen people live in obscene opulence is something to celebrate. After all, it "inspires everybody, gets them motivation to look up to the one per cent and say, 'I want to become one of those people, I want to fight to the get up to the top.'"

Ah yes, if only those kids growing up in slums around the world could look up and catch a glimpse of Bill Gates' private jet, they'd have something to strive for!

We already know that Kevin O'Leary can't read, but can this poor man also not… feel?

It's hard to say where the O'Leary character ends and where the real human being (?) begins, but what value he possibly provides to the CBC is entirely unclear. Either nobody watches the Lang & O'Leary Exchange to catch this routine stupidity or management is purposely destroying the CBC.

Amazing. This man is a genius. Truly an inspiration to us all.
 
What would be amazing is if some of those wealthy people realized that if they invested in improving the infrastructure of some of the poorer nations they could make EVERYONE, including them richer by making those nations more productive.

But-but-but, that would require them having actual knowledge of real economics, instead of just knowing that because they have money they're superior!
