It's funny that the rich say only working people should have any value.
But when you look at the rich, none of them work, certainly nothing of value to anyone but themselves.
Maybe we should take their own advice when we are treating them?

The world is 700% richer than in 1970 but the average person is only 8% richer.
Because the richest 0.01% are 4000% richer.
We are all being robbed every second of every day, and it doesn't matter how much profit or growth there is.
It will never reach you.

What is needed is an attack on profits and a tax on billionaires.
Tesco alone could pay every single one of its 372,000 workers an extra £10,000 and still make a profit.
Profits are your wages being stolen.

It's very important to understand that Privatisation wasn't a mistake by Margaret Thatcher and Privatisation isn't going 'badly', it wasn't even about the vast profits.
It was always about destroying democracy so they could have control forever.

The Media demands that Disabled People don't receive a pittance that keeps them alive.
But ignore the Billionaires who rob tens of millions from the taxpayer by paying nothing at all.

The supervised toothbrushing scheme at school is fine.
But the real problem is 50+% of people don't have access to an NHS dentist and Private dentists are charging 5-10x more.
Everyone needs to go to the dentist, it doesn't matter how well you brush your teeth.

Richest 1% in the UK have - £2.8tn
The poorest 70% (everybody with less than £650,000) have - £2.4tn
That means if you took half the 1%'s wealth and gave it to the poorest 70% they would get 60% richer, and the 1% would still be more than 20x richer than them.

The Government claims it needs to make £6bn of benefit cuts, here's a big long list of places where they could make far more money.
£42bn from ending Brexit.
£80bn Bank profits, even a 10% tax is £2bn more.
£120bn Energy Company profits, quadruple what they were before 2021.
