Nice rebuttal, how is the debating team doing this season

I thought I was vegan but I haddocktopus the other day so I can't be

I read a few things a while back suggesting that CEO's shouldn't earn more than 20 times that of the average worker. This was to foster a togetherness and team ethic of companies in order to get the best out of everyone. I can see if I can find reference to it if you are interested. There are a...

What do you mean? We are always told by those who enjoy privilege that it is easy to better one's self. All you need to do is take the opportunities that are given to you. If you are not given those opportunities or your upbringing, culture, lifestyle and surroundings means you don't or can't...

Not sure how many times I have to repeat this but here goes, one last time: I am not for one moment suggesting that people should all get paid the same amount (or people should be given free fish). The point I am making is not that there should be no difference in wages for different people it...

As I have said I have no problem with a CEO getting paid more that someone on the 'shop floor'. A fantastic example, footballers shouldn't be getting paid the ridiculous sums they do (do you really think they should?) while other people at the clum are on mimimum wage. Add to this the fact...

....and since the unions have been dismantled, which party holds all the power in this agreement? The one earning a hundred times more than the other.

No, I am suggesting that the huge disparity of saleries/wages is currently both unfair and indicitive of greed being a massive barrier to the success of trickle down economics. Market forces are being distorted by greed and people are getting paid far in excess of what they are worth while...

How is my solution of narrowing the disparity between CEO and average worker stealing wealth? This would only be the case if you consider a company's income the property of the CEO. I suppose this is a logical conclusion to trickle down economics.

Double post

I have not suggested that everyone has the same wealth.

I don't think you can use a single example to draw the conclusion that income equality 'really doesn't matter'.

I disagree, I think that this kind of disparity is a problem. https://www.theguardian.com/money/2017/jan/04/uk-bosses-will-make-more-by-midday-than-workers-will-earn-all-year-fat-cat-wednesday Is one person really worth so much more than another?

I remember when companies were getting privatised years ago we were told that they were not sustainable and too much public money was being pumped in to keep them afloat. Seems we have no come full circle and they are still not sustainable and again we need to pump public money in to keep them...

A strong economy is a wonderful thing. The question is, if an economy is so strong why does it need subsidising out of tax payers money? How much should tax payers pay to enjoy this strong economy? 50bn seems like a lot to me, especially on top of austerity measures...

Business men are however very good at influencing politicians and parties. Your anaolgy doesn't stand up as they mix very well (unless you are the poor suckers gettting shafted).

I would agree with this were it not for the fact that business is so involved in politics at present. We suffer here in Australia with politicians desperate to get involved in business by giving them subsidies of our money.
