We have all of us a lot to be thankful to bill gates for
And that’s not only in the poorest countries but in Europe also He created wealth for all of us |

AS Clement alluded to, philanthropy is great, but paying tax is the most important thing.
Its reliance on egotism creating a system that hopes the filthy rich give to needy causes. Its like Elon Musk being viewed as a decider of who survives, that isnt my idea of a good idea. |

I don’t mind , millions of people in Britain don’t pay any tax
Millions again of the ‘poorest’ in London don’t pay any tax and don’t pay for housing or education or health etc It’s ok , we have it pretty good in Britain |

As the Existentialist school of philosophy outlines; those that give money away are simply satisfying their own selfish desire.

^ no one likes to be thankful

By:
Thats the whole point.....the argument is that they give to be applauded.
|
|
By:
You’re missing the point , if someone helps you say thanks
It’s good manners to do so |
|
By:
Foundations baring the name of the filthy rich....why?
Just give the money if its not about kudos. They only give money back once the system has royaly provided stupid amounts more than they need. |
|
By:
It’s not about them it’s about you , say thankyou to someone who helps you
It’s good manners |
|
By:
So equally then if you bow and scrape towards those we equally have the right to lynch those who do wrong?
|
|
By:
Well no , that’s against the law in Britain thank goodness
We all do wrong |

'to be conscious is to be guilty'

Philanthropy is a great way of saving taxes. On top of that it makes you look good. That is not to say that people like Bill Gates aren't good people. But you can have all the goodness in the world and there will still be enough rotten apples to spoil it all with wars and their political agendas. Equality is never happening.
Then there is also the matter of charity foundations existing purely for political benefits. There is so much money given to poorer countries in the name of foreign aid when it is nothing but a way to buy loyalty from the politicians of that particular country. Sometimes distributing the charity amount itself is a business that people will pay heavy amounts to get control of. Inequality, violence, war, poverty, availability of benefits are great tools for the politicians to play around with. Why would they want to get rid of all these issues? It is the very nature of the general public that they will cry about issues. It is almost impossible to satisfy the public, so why would you give them the cards that you can use to rule them? |

Like the politicians, when I successfully divert you from talking about the topic to talking about me, I've already won.

But if you have anything more to say, i'm listening.

75 posts since my last one so I have not read them all. To address my point about wanting to be a millionaire, I didn't say that it always works. But if you always spend money as fast as you earn it, you are most unlikely to be one unless you inherit it. In my early days in business, an older colleague whose opinion was widely respected told me that you will not build a big business unless you are prepared to live on half of your income for the first 10 years at least. I never reached a big business because I found a small one quite stressful but my wife and I did live on half our joint income for 10 years. That was back in the 1970's. Once you have enough savings to last for 12 months and no debts life gets easier.

I start to worry when people want to take money off others?

so basically every politician knowingly lies to us on the subject of inequality as it will never be eradicated.

Maybe one day I will find the answer to why people expect the politicians to speak the truth in the first place.

Haven't read all the posts either, but when you have 90%+ of the wealth in the hands of 1% of the population then something is drastically wrong. That 1% can effectively run the world to make sure of the status quo, or even put more wealth into their greedy hands at the expense of everyone else.
They are above governments. They effectively own governments and so politicians are mere puppets of theirs, pulling the wool over everyone's eyes pretending you somehow have a say on the direction governments take. And so no, you will not get equality under the current system. Taxing 'the rich' more will not affect the 1% either. They make sure they're above all that, whatever system of government is in place. |

Often wondered who buys a lottery ticket. I FEAR the lower paid buy more tickets but I don't know.
If an MP put forward a bill calling for all prizes of £1m+ to be taxed at 45% there would be meltdown. I'd be thrilled to win a mill and take home £550k. What a boom to the public sector. Yet no 'socialist' Labour MP would dare suggest such a tax. |

"but when you have 90%+ of the wealth in the hands of 1% of the population then something is drastically wrong. "
Starting with totally bollocks made up figures like that. |

By:
They lottery is already arguably a bad deal for the ticket buyer and goes to fund projects the state should be funding, bought from tickets that come from income that was taxed already. Why should it be taxed to make it even more sh1t? Do you want your betfair winnings taxed?
|

By:
that will be the next move - tax your bf winnings tax tax tax ya till yer dead and it is your fkn money and look what they do
borrow more and drive us deeper in debt if it were a business you would have sacked the lot of them |
|
By:
If I won £1m+ on BF, yes I'd be happy for it to be taxed. (My losses would still be covered, just
)The lottery lacks any skill, intelligence or ability. The prizes are obscene. Tax anything over a mill. The lefties think people who work their nuts off earning over £150k should pay 50% tax. Illogical Captian... |

The French had an an answer to inequality back in the day
Madame Guillotine.....unfortunately we won't use it because of some trivial health and society rules, probably damm |
