    The chairties in the UK are constantly trying to pump out this story to make people unhappy with their own lives and angry at the success of others, the same chairities and sector of society who claim to be against poverty and inequality yet consistently promote taxes that cause it, wanting to take carbon, transactions, anything with a hint of freedom you can think of, blind to the fact capitlism is the revolution, once a king did own 100% of the wealth..capititalism has over thrown kings queens dictators and every kind of filth

    no kidding, It's getting to be where if you are a capitalist you are a minority freedom fighter. The government won't be happy until they control 100%. And it's not their fault, we elect them, it's just their nature.

    they get you, just like a drug dealer. At first they are really nice and give you some free drugs. Next thing you know, they own 100%, and you spend every waking moment working for them.

    the democrats dream is that some day we will all be working for the government, and in their wisdom they will divide the fruits of our labor up to those who need it most.

    They are the Party of Need. That's all they know. All they know is need. Anything beyond need is above their comprehension.

    Most of the lying and thieving politicians are rich. So they won't be bringing in a wealth tax anytime soon.

    keep voting democrat and you will get what you want. A whole country full of needy people who rely on the government to give them what they need.

    it use to be "The Bank of Dad" but women today want to have sex with no knowledge of how to please a man, and now Dad has to pay for not only his own children but for all the children of any woman who got fucked by a man who never loved her.

  8. I am moved by the idea that the wealthy control so much stuff. I am moved to work hard on becoming wealthy. I'm moved by Karl Marx too. He said that the guy with the machines makes the money so I'm working to program a machine that makes lots of money. Other than that, stories about the rich are big yawners really. Maybe if one of them went into a ghetto to help the poor and got knifed or shot, that would be a pretty interesting read I guess...

    Just a small percentage tax on wealth to stop the few owning the many.
    Bill Gates has more or less stopped trying to be wealthier, all his previous work is paying off so well, why should he bother.
