        Should we not be fighting for more wages instead of reducing other people's wages for being successfull in life

        The point is that executive wages aren’t commensurate with their actual work. There’s no CEO in the world earning 300x the salary of their average employees because they’re somehow actually working 300x harder.

        No they ain’t. Bosses need workers and workers need bosses. It doesn’t have to be an us against them type of game. There’s enough money for everyone’s need but not everyone’s greed.

        And it's not greed to forcibly take the money someone else has earned on the basis they earned more than you? 🤔

        That’s the point. They aren’t earning what they’re being paid. I’ve found only two kinds of people support this system. The 1% who benefit from it, and people who think they actually have a chance to rise to their level. But they have pulled up the ladder. You won’t get there.

        They haven't pulled up the ladder. I can go get the same education and skills they got and earn what they earned. So can you. The fact their richer than us is our fault, not societies. How do you know they're not earning it?

        I can't chose to be born in a wealthy family... Or have a daddy that bails me out every time my business's venture fails. University education is so expensive

        Better still, start your own business, make it a multi million pound success then put in practice whet you preach and pay yourself not a lot for that achievement , go on, show us all how it’s done 👍🏼

        Almost no CEOs started any business or worked their way up. It's 90% nepotism and rotating doors, out of 1 job into another.

        Have you looked at the Cabinet Office to understand the quality of leadership and how it operates in the country? Disgraced and sacked one day, wait a month or so and up they pop in another gravy boat.

        ....but they pay a HUGE amount of tax to contribute to the much needed welfare system. A great PR presentation M/S Long-Bailey, but hardly a balanced appraisal!

        Probably AVOID a huge amount of tax because it’s encouraged by this Gvt, in Sweden the top rate of tax is 56.6% wealthy people don’t avoid living in Sweden do they? This is just excuses to allow avaricious parasites to take more than their fair share.

        Taxation above 50% is immoral. The individual should always yield more for his Labour than the government he lives under...

        I think that taxation for social good is moral. We need to focus on getting Companies, Corporations etc to pay their fair share of tax and stop tax avoiders from continuing to do so. Check out this websitehttps://www.taxresearch.org.uk/Blog/richard-murphy/ …

        I suggest that possibly we all hold slightly varying views, but as long as we can respect each other and find common ground we can work together, human beings achieve more when we work together rather than isolated. Are you a member of the Magic Circle?
