Cabinet Rich List

[AtW]

When did he spend a lot of time trying to make wealth?

If he did then he failed at that.

It would have been better if he won the lottery - at least this way PM will be lucky one!

If he did then he failed at that.

If he didn't then he didn't fail at it. Care to present a cogent argument? Maybe having inherited wealth allowed him to focus full-time on politics without the distractions of making money?

[minestrone]

The point is that those guys there did not earn the money themselves, if so why the heck they are running the country?

Every so often they have what is called an election and people get to vote...

[Doggy Styles]

I have no problem with people having, making or inheriting money.

I have an issue with Members of the Cabinet who have lead sheltered, cosseted lives and are completely out of touch with 99% of the population.

We live in a democracy. Have you got a better idea?

We live in an elected oligarchy. Have you got a better idea?

FTFY

We get to pick the red pill or the blue pill, but they are the same pill beneath.

Except on his expense account?

If you're rich, there's an argument trivial things like fiddling your expenses is less interesting.

Of course not always... Report: SAP exec charged with $1,000 LEGO bar-code caper

Yes it was most likely like that - he did not need to know how to earn money, or even how to save it (as inheritance was likely to be in form of real estate that always goes up) - yet after all that Osborne thinks he knows the right way to motivate people who will actually grow UK's wealth, or does he?

Perhaps those that think so should stand for parliament themselves. See what voters think of them as an alternative. You might get elected!
