What he also fails to realise is that re-distributing his money is actually tax efficient as the lower paid will get a bigger percentage of it than he does. He really is an ignorant idiot, isn’t he?

What should happen is that the top earners take a bigger percentage reduction than the lower paid workers before any furlough is considered...
