Arbtalk 2015 General Election Poll

This is the point I was making earlier Lee. Who are the rich? some will do well in the recession, but many did not.

 

My point is we are better having them than not having them. If I made £30k a year and the guy up the road made £30million, then 2 years later I make £35k and he makes £35 million, the gap between us is now £4,995,000 higher than before, but am I poorer as a result?

No! i'm £5k richer!

Spot on Tom!!!!!!!!

 

But unfortunately many will be more concerned about his £5M than their own £5K, its very sad

How about instead of having a 1% mega wealthy class, how about the wealth is shared a bit more evenly, ie instead of Mr 1% having a huge house in the country, a chateau in France and a pad off of Park lane, how about we shared that wealth so I don't have to live in dump of a 3 bed terrace with the luxury off having to pay for if for the next 25 year's?

 

My mate Jon has had his car on axel props for 3 months can't afford to fix his car, hes on a zero hour contract and is in debt upbto his eyeballs trying to keep his head above water and can't afford to fix it. Jon from Eaton Square on the other hand has just had a cracking bonus and has put his name down on the waiting list for a new Ferrari!

Bollocks! I have no interest in what the rich bloke up the road as got, it don't put salt on my porridge!

 

Where it goes wrong IMO Is when people go to work, live frugally and still can't make ends meet.

I work my ass off and well my brother in law has three kids no one in that house hold works yet they have two holidays a year and a new car every 3 years.

 

He's on the sick his mrs is a carer for him yet he's stood at the door ready to work in the morning and moans to his boss that he only gets £70 a day:lol:

:confused1:Did I mention you??????????

[Lee Winger]

I'm not against wealth but when its at the countrys detriment I am! Most of the wealthy elite earn there income from banking institutions, now didn't they get greedy and fail? Any other business would have gone to the wall Woolworths are a fine example.The banks and governments have conned and robbed us. Do any of you seriously think we should be happy because Jon the hedge fund manager got a 6 figure bonus and is buying a new Ferrari with OUR money! (By the way Jon the hedge fund manager isn't even close to being in the top 1% of the worlds rich)

[Lee Winger]

Great, How do we do it?

 

 

We need to start by kicking out the old and bringing in the new

No. What you do do is make massive generalisations!
