The Trouble with Billionaires

Ms. McQuiag's book the Trouble with Billionaires is a fabulous read and I was lucky enough to have met her. Being deemed the "Michael Moore" of Canada, she holds no punches in her belief a concentration of wealth leads to many social ills. What problems does she see in having a society in which more and more wealth is transferred to those at the top while those at the bottom of society struggle to try to make ends meet. What problems does she see? Solutions? Do you agree/disagree? Looking forward to reading your respones...the video can be found here.
