why do you vehemently defend the wealthy? Do you subscribe to the trickle down theory? do you think the wealth gap is too narrow? Edited by Pussay Patrol (28 Jun 2018 10.28pm) People like Bill Gates should be celebrated and the world would be a worse place without him, from enabling poor people to own a computer, to providing jobs, helping business, to using his wealth for philanthropy. He could never even exist in a socialist utopia.

No worries Cryrst, I do defend the wealthy. They are a sign of a meritocratic society that works and as long as they are responsible and support the society that enabled that wealth I celebrate them. I totally agree with you that you don't kill the goose which lays the golden egg....instead you feather the nest. Edited by Stirlingsays (29 Jun 2018 8.35am)

I don't think it's a case of blaming wealthy people, that's what governments want you to do, blame other sections of society like Immigrants so they can mug you off and continue to force austerity on you. But the fact is the wealth gap is too wide in this country. For example London has more millionaires than any other city in the world yet homelessness has increased significantly. Public transport is too expensive, renationalise and subsidise so it is affordable comparable to the rest of europe. I'd also increase the minimum wage. Plus I don't want to live in a society where executive pay and bonuses are a plenty yet Nurses only get 1% pay increases on already menial wages. Again i'm not blaming the rich just highlighting the imbalances Edited by Pussay Patrol (30 Jun 2018 10.26am)

Very nice TUX To what exactly You are ''clueless'' in thinking that the rich are the goose laying the Golden Egg when the truth is the complete bloody opposite! You're happy with financing their wealth, i'm not. PS A bit strong of a response, soz, but you have to change your bloody mindset bud. Rich people take more than a fair share of money from those who can least afford it. That's you that is
