how to get rid of inequality??

Read Moneyland and realise it's all completely f*cked. Capitalism has allowed vast national wealth to be transferred into the hands of a small number of people who now have it buried away under trusts and shell companies. There'll always be some corrupt official or regime who'll hide them so you can never catch up.

i agree.so when a politician says we need to get rid of inequality its just a talking point because they know it will never happen?

Do they really mean that we need to get rid of inequality or do they mean that there needs to be some redistribution of wealth and income to narrow the gap?

I want the same amount of inequality as everyone else

nellie - true equality is obviously unattainable but you can obviously make things more equal than they are. More likely than not though these are just the usual empty promises they like to make. You have to go back to the early days of Blair to get anything remotely like a genuine attempt to level the playing field.

i just get so sick and tired of the same talking points from politicians and to me they all just lie about this issue

this forum sucks - sticky as fk!!!!!

The problem with most societies they are too big most people become a small cog in a big machine.
For thousands of years mankind as traded with one another in various forms of capitalism we have basically had to have relied each other, the problem with this is where there is a winner then there must  be loser, in a  world obsessed by cost that means one way or another most people are losers and a very small number of people are winners.
Things are changing and they are changing fast AI and greater automation are going to transform the way we live, now this can be in a good way or it can be in a bad way, it’s your choice which path you choose.
If you choose to live under a capitol system then chances are your livelihood will be decimated by the change, you will become a modern day Oliver Twist.
But there is an alternative way of life that even now is quietly evolving, small groups and communities around the world that are going self sufficient, what I mean by this is they have some land and they use modern methods of farming and they produce their own power and they also have bought enough scrap metal and old pieces of tech in order to make and remake their own goods and items, 3d printers cnc machines and robotic methods.
The Beauty of this way of life is people are no long constantly replenishing commodities then looking for buyer for the finished goods. But the main positive feature of this way of life is the protection from outside world or national events.
These people are not cutting themselves off entirely they will still share and exchange ideas with the rest of mankind.

One way that is already happening apparently is to change the tax rules so that the most wealthy emigrate. This has always been effective and it is increasing inequality in Portugal which is inviting the mega rich to move with no tax on their foreign earnings.

It is also true that if you started 100 people on the same salary on the same day with no savings, by the end of 5 years one or two would be millionaires while a few would be bankrupt. Income the same, spending and saving different. You could argue that allowances before tax such as the tax free income allowance, £1000 a year of tax free interest as well as tax free ISAs etc. is increasing inequality but with present interest rates it makes very little difference. The main qualification for becoming a millionaire is to want to be one.

There must be some other qualifications sageform?….I want to be a millionaire but I am not one.

I would a nice new BMW conditor, I hope BMW see money as imagination and let me have one for nothing.

Do you think people people would be happy with just a fire and catching, when they see people living in

luxury houses with all mod cons...that would surpise me?


Yes we must have competition I can see that, but also fairness, unfortunately these rather contradict each

other.

Still I was a member of the communist party when I was young....I have come a little to the right since then.

catching fish

Things that don't have a solution always make for a great political tool. Hence you see the politicians talking about removing inequality most of the times.

I thought like you when I was younger Conditor.

But not now. Since 1980 I have seen our society grow into a money grabbing monster.

The only way we can ignore this, is by being vey rich ourselves.


I was brought down by the cruelty of others, so I lost everything I had.


I have no way of getting it back, but in todays MONEY is king
