Billionaires 4,000 times more likely to hold political office: Oxfam

A new study by the rights group Oxfam International has claimed that billionaires are 4,000 times more likely to hold any political office than ordinary people. "The widening gap between the rich and the rest is, at the same time, creating a political deficit that is highly dangerous and unsustainable," Oxfam Executive Director Amitabh Behar said.
