Your comment is interesting because I think it was Plato in ancient greece who believed that the rulers of society should only be permitted to rule the people once they had experienced most spheres of life for several years. It's the same idea as yours in that how else could they possibly understand what the people, and by extension society, really need? And there is also something almost paradoxical about politics that is much harder to solve. Those who most desire power should be the last people to ever get it and yet they are precisely the people ruthless, deceptive and cruel enough to be most likely to obtain it. We really live in a sick world.

Millions and Billions are too large for anyone to properly mentally conceptualise, so let put it into perspective with time to see the difference in scale between 1 million and 1 billion. 1 million seconds is around 11 days. 1 billion seconds is around 31 years. So no, Billionaires shouldn't exist and the very fact that they do indicates that our economic system is not fit for purpose and is overtly not designed for the peoples prosperity. As it is now it is strictly designed for wealth extraction to benefit a select few individuals leeching for the rest of us and our priminister is one of those leeches.

Theres this argument that we need growth, we need productivity. But people rightly will ask why grow the economy, why be more productive when all of the benefit goes to a handful of people and none to the people delivering in the economy.

Grotesque inequality is a massive threat to society, including to those at the top, who perhaps should read a little French history.

Those who agree with billionaires I'd like to ask them would you be ok with one person owning all the world's wealth?

The richest can have as much money as they can make, but they should never be allowed to set policys in governments, mps income should be limited to double the average income.

It just makes you want to cry. My little boy is saying if he works hard he will get a house. I just want to cry. I really wish hope and pray for an awakening and this country rebalances.

Honestly the occupy Wallstreet movement was about what is happening now and that was 16 years ago.. I remember the mainstream media was painting the protesters in the same negative spotlight they are with the Gaza peace protesters.

If non doms choose to go live elsewhere then there should be restrictions on how long they can spend on visits back to the UK. They want the benefits of living in the UK (which is still a great place to live if you're rich) without contributing their fair share. Let them go since they don't pay tax anyway what are we losing?

Don't let the door smack you on the way out.

With the exodus by billionaires to Dubai, BVI and Monacco and other such similar tax havens, the problem still remains that they will continue to own swathes of properties, particularly in London which will remain uninhabited and out of reach for lesser mortals to purchase.

Which is why we have a cost of living and housing crisis. Not because of small boats or mum's claiming £20 a week on Uni credit

Exactly. It’s not the people in small boats that are causing the problems but the people who have multiple boats and multiple houses.

@@sarahbarrett1247 Well, I do agree with you btw in that youre spot on with the main cause and problem. I'm on the social housing list have been for three years, I'm in band 1 and will be bidding for years to come as the emergency band has priority which is almost impossible for a native to attain, and my local council has even adopted policy to enforce the discrimination further openly prioritsing non-natives and in certain places bradford, luton, wolverhampton as examples; as a native you will be a minority and a second class citizen, isloated and disliked. Youve hit the nail on the head with the problem but pointing at other problems and calling them distractions and false is not only incorrect but also supporting the agenda of the small amount of people you claim to oppose. More people here = more consumers. Less social housing(also private housing as a large percent of new arrivals have a surprsing amount of money to spend, although that wont prevent them from claiming everything available and sending it back home, jobs(therefore lower wages) and public services, free healthcare, dentist gps overcrowded as free, although thats just basic math

Wealth inequality is why the young cannot get on to the property ladder.

This really is appalling. The PM isn’t the right person to be in the job at all. He is not from us. I wish I could afford therapy. I can’t get nhs help.

‘Unelected’… the party are elected and they choose the PM. Clearly us reporters are trying to tell the English that we don’t know how democracy in this small country works. We vote for our constituency, and the majority party form a government and that party select a leader.

That's Mathew Wright's opening gambit whenever he talks about the prime minister, I always thought that policies matter more so than whoever the leader is.

Its not the money it is how it is earned. I have no qualms of say a surgeon worth £200 million or a factory worker earning £100k a year but I strongly object to people kicking a bag of wind or a temporary MP earning that much.

It doesn’t make Sense at all if you don’t need this much money what’s stopping you to help others? It’s more than greed it’s evil

Allowing billionaires to exist is just allowing for a return to aristocracy, such concentrations of wealth and influence are inherently anti-democratic. I don't begrudge people with useful skills earning a lot

Get rid of Royalty and Tory Government

And sunak wants to reduce taxes even further to ensure none of his millions trickle down to help alleviate poverty of those at the other end of this hugely unbalanced spectrum of wealth. How much has his father in law given to rid india of obscene levels of child poverty in india - the highest in the world. The indian culture is steeped in the caste system - those at the top dont even 'see' poverty, let alone feel the need to do anything about it. They feel its the natural order of things.

No problem with them existing. Presumably once you have billions it becomes a self-perpetuating cycle but they should be made to contribute to stuff like CNI on a reasonable level thereby easing the burden on your average taxpayer. If they can't demonstrate a basic level of a sense of community and human decency they should be heavily punished. But it's all a question of where the line is and once you draw the line they will find ways of avoiding it (if they are scumbags, which it seems the most prominent of them are).

We've had some pretty bad leaders in our time, dodgy, lying, irritating, corrupt... but surely, there is no-one on earth so immensely detestable as Rishi Sunak.
