This from a professional politician who has never had a real job?
And Mandelson, the friend of dodgy Oligarchs - puhlease! Next Osborne will be up saying how nice and cuddly his friends are.
Course it matters how you got rich, if you did it by being a union leader feathering your nest while your striking members starved or found cash down the back of your sofa to buy some properties you couldn't possibly afford despite having multiple dodgy mortgages then of course it does.
If you work fairly for it, inherit or win the lottery then fine.

Although I agree with you BP, I still don't know why we bother listening to anything these say.
They have nothing useful to add.
They are parasites.
And as such should be ignored, or better, crushed under our collective feet pour encourage les autres.

How is anyone to tell if you worked hard or worked smart? Does it matter?
IMO it is more important that if rich you spread the wealth around. I believe alot of the current economic issues are too much money concentrated in the hands of too few. Money does not circulate enough.

They could have the same problems if they were poorer but if they didn't have the money it wouldn't be so easy for them to destroy themselves or lay around doing SFA.
In both cases they can cause problems for those around them. Though the 2nd group can be easily avoided.
BTW I'm related to those who have/will inherit wealth and do SFA, and those who will inherit wealth but don't use it as an excuse not to do anything.
