I think I'd be a socialist too, if I had a couple of million quid in the bank.

I think I'll be a comedian like Ben Elton!

How long before the money starts rolling in?

Me too, in a tax haven like Sean Connery. I'll probably be Oasis.

I sometimes wonder why people are so incapable of being logical.

Keep it up, that made day

He did write "A New England". That was alright.

(And it was snowy in the Kirsty Wotnot video.)

Well good on ya. But my missus has worked in ICU, transitional care and community ventilation. As far as she is concerned, you would be the exception.
She has a team that provides 24 hour care for a kid in a wheelchair. Two nurses, ten carers, a social worker (guardian) plus all the support. The child will never get out of that chair, (the only fun he gets from life is biting and spitting greenies at the missus, or ramming her shins with his chariot).
Lord knows how much it all costs.
The only wealth being created there, is for the wife and that social worker.

Go and pull the cord out of his life-support machine and strangle the little bastard with it.

YMMV.

I beg to differ.

Their responsiblity is to generate Health, which in turn may generate Wealth.

I speak from personal experience, following my MS relapse, and all the care they have provided to me to build up my strength and get me fit again for work.

As a contractor, I've not been generating wealth. They have almost fixed me with specialist treatment, and I shall soon be returning to work to generate wealth.

Besides, most agents are thick and lazy. Which is why they are agents. Parasites don't generate wealth. They live off others.

I know who I'd sooner help.

So next time you are ill and in hospital I take it you won’t want to be looked after by some “thick and lazy” nurse who does not carry responsibility.

You are an absolute disgrace a merchant banker no doubt.

Explain the rise of the Florentine Medici bankers without using the wealth they created as bankers.

The simple fact is that the relaxing of the usury laws enabled people to invest in commerical activities and see a return on and this produced an explosion of wealth which funded the renaissence.

Spot on.
