Change the slogan

AM I alone in finding the current campaign spearheaded by two multimillionaires to ‘Make Poverty History’ somewhat absurd?

Change the slogan

Given that 85% of the world’s wealth is in the hands of less than 10% of the planet’s population, would it not be more appropriate for their campaign to be called ‘Make Obscene Wealth History.’

Maybe this would be a step too far towards eliminating global poverty for these ‘compassion tycoons’ who, no doubt, will do very nicely from their present asinine endeavours.
