Bar Stool Economics

Of course, there is something so fundamentally wrong about making rich people pay more taxes, no extra service is provided, these people work hard, and work hard at the expense of the time they could spend being with their family, that is a price high enough to pay but the government actually wants to grow fat on that? There is a huge difference between a secure 40 hour job with plenty of free time and a job you always have even if you are on a holiday, time is money, if you have no time you have no money because you don't have the time to spend it. The state has no right on that cash.

Yes, that is capitalism at its finest: reward for work and insecurity.

here in the UK individuals who work for institutions such as Hedge funds often pay about 5% tax as it is the rate for company capital gains - less than their cleaner.

Secure?

I'm definitely unemployed next year. I get no severance package or anything like that.
A city worker will often get a salary up to an indeed in cases plus bonus ten times my salary.

Look at this person: low tax, massive salary and as long as they work 1 year in 10 they're making a mint. They're not gambling with their money, so their risk is minimal. If they get laid off they'll often get multiples of my salary as a goodbye gift.

I'm actively trying to change career. Surprised?

Yes, if all those lowly idiots were managers in banks, we wouldn't have to deal with their petty problems.
I say let's make everybody a rich manager and forget about farming, cleaning or manufacturing, 6 billion managers on earth and all our problems are solved forever.
