    Depends on which side of the wealth gap you're on.

    Well I am not on that side, far from it. I can manage.

    It's not about "wanting anyones money", Frags.

    It's about who gets what from the new money produced. Ie. making a model where you get a share reflecting the work you put in. We are not even close to that today. I don't get a share comparable to my effort, I get loads more than what I actually put in compared to effort and share of Joe Indiaman.

    Why should I do less and earn more at the same time?

    Frags, you missed the point entirely. It's not about hating the rich for being rich.

    The issue is that the wealth is concentrated in the hands of a very few people and they're using that to change the system. Gradual change to allow them to become even wealthier and wield even more influence.

    That kind of system is unfair and is a threat to democracy in the long run.

    Perhaps. But there are some more pressing matters.

    The lucky few are currently using the non-unity of countries in the world to evade taxes and to exploit the poorest but more unity in the world is obviously a far bigger problem than exploitation by the rich. Maybe the EU is only so problematic because it is only doing what those lucky few want because the rest of the people are bickering about leving the EU instead of using their political capital to improve it...

    You two do realize that now the next 500 pages of this thread is going to be about Islam taking over the world, right?
