So it seems Oxfam takes indebted people and the informal sector as zero money. That's why seemingly you need only to own a half dollar coin to be richer than the combined sum of two billion people; and the fact statistics place more poor people in the US than in Pakistan and Bangladesh put together! Seems like a valid criticism of the college tuition system, but still the whole deal smells too much of conviniently lying with statistics to gain a few headlines, and there are nobler ways of fighting inequality than lying.
