Inequality fuels mass protest in Hong Kong
Inequality fuels mass protest in Hong Kong: Asia Times Online, summed up the sentiment: “Hong Kong’s 3.4 million registered voters are fed up with the stratospheric wealth gap graphically expressed by multi-billionaires flaunting their wealth in contrast to people actually living in cages in Kowloon; income inequality has never been higher over the past four decades. They want serious measures against air pollution. They want proper pensions. They want adequate housing at reasonable prices. And most of all they want to vote.”?
