Is Labour Prepared for Government?

Must learn to read beyond the first line   Although in my defence I was very busy looking at my banking app to try and work out if I am rich

But this argument is based on an assumption that the wealth of a country is finite, like a round pie.

It is simply not true, that if the rich are poorer, the poorer get richer.

It's all about income equality.

Might be better phrased - 'as the rich get richer the others get frustrated and start questioning the greater divide between rich and poor'.

...Maybe a bit long, but better than the usual catchphrase

I think we have to define poor, wealth, and working hard, considering the differing personalities, life choices, is everyone capable of taking on the responsibilities and life style that comes with higher incomes, running a company is very, very complex, no comparison between for instance an executive management role and a check out person.

Although I do think the market economy is moves very quickly and some people are not capable of adapting to the requirements and speed of the changing roles within this type of economy.

Huh! I'm having trouble adapting to the ever changing fluctuations of my investments

Or that argument could be used for a boss who took less of the profits for himself and paid his workers a more liveable wage with them profits.

Trickle down economics has worked really well hasn't it?

The rich work for something to do and the poor work because they have to.
