To some poor homeless dab the minimum wage would feel like winning the lottery. Bigger issue here is the growing inequality gap, which is growing under the Tories. Although executive pay peaked under Labour I think, so it's not quite as simple as Tories always promoting the rich. | | | |

All of us would love to earn a little bit more,but that's the way it is, does this come down to greed,envy or averice, I don't know, but really if you earn that much spare a thought for those a lot further down the food chain,don't look up and say, yeah I should be earning millions,it doesn't work for me at any level.

Relative inequality on 11:24 - May 6 with 469 views | Nookiejack | You wonder whether it is due to such low interest rates for so long and the policy of Quantitative Easing which have both forced up asset prices (Property and Stock Markets) to silly levels. I am quite fearful of next crash in asset prices given the enormous levels of debt that both the Government and Private individuals are holding. The last downturn was 2008 and so we are due another one if you believe historic business cycle trends. The inequality gap will certainly close if the asset prices of the rich collapse. | | | |
