www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2022/nov/14/chairman-greggs-millionaires-more-tax-jeremy-hunt#comment-159830433The growing divide has become even more extreme.. The richest 10% of households now hold 43% of all the country’s wealth, according to the Office for National Statistics. The bottom 50% hold only 9%. We now have 177 billionaires in this country, up from just 29 in 2010, with a combined wealth of £653bn. The difference between very wealthy and less well-off people has become obscene. We should all be supporting reforms to our tax system that achieve a real and sustainable redistribution of wealth.

It is, but at the expense of the people who create the prosperity. Fair shares!
Take Royal Mail as an example: Highly paid fly-by-nights come in for a year or two, milk the company for short term gain. Who is it that's got the company their good name over the years and knows the most about where they need to be - is it the posties?
