How does the government manage the tax money now as opposed to in the past?
Rory Stewart…oh dear …miserable individual
Rory Stewart is a genius, truly❤
Their wealth on paper or their wealth in their pocket ?
Wealth creation is not a zero sum game, if you have an idea for a product or service and the intelligence to exploit it then get on with it, otherwise just shut up.
Remember their wealth is the company's and assets they own – often employing thousands of people.
They could help so many people. But choose not to.
They are not in the business of solving poverty. Is there something stopping you from giving your money away?
Public sector second raters realising theyre irrelevant
Sickening really! What on earth does any one person need all that wealth for? Seriously! I believe in needs,not wants!
Wealth inequality bankrputs government & makes ppl poor, poverty poor. We need to Tax Wealth Not Wages. 🚫Billionaires
Globalisation & deindustrialisation has brought immense wealth to some and open borders immigration has brought destruction of societies Your parties have participated. You have no plans to change that
…complains the Tory!
hahaha
Still waiting for one these preachy morons to 'splain how Nancy Pelousee is worth over 130 million.
Any system that values those who are special and produce incredible value and doesn't value those who are below average will produce extreme inequalities. That has been the natural balance for the last five thousand years, not just the one hundred years since capitalism took over as the main system. Stop crying crocodile tears and wake up to reality. Things are just as they should be.
Its mainly just share certificates they have. I guess it depends how you define wealth.
😂😂😂 they don't HAVE that wealth, someone would have to BUY their stocks to make them that rich, and even then, you can't cash out ALL your stocks for the highest price, no, it's a diminishing effect the more you cash. But they can use it as leverage to take out massive loans from the bank
I lived in Holland for about 5 yrs. The heiress of Heineken beer moved to England so she could be a billionaire. At least everyone in Holland has a boat. To be poor is hard work. To be a bum is super hard. It's easier to work. And you work and respect the boss. And you get what is yours. 1st year 4 weeks paid vacation. After that 5 weeks paid vacation. Everyone is happy except the ones wanting to be billionaires. Are you voters some of them? The billionaires? You are republicans? Screw yourself to make billionaires better than you? Hmm That's weird to say the least. Because to billionaires, millionaires are yesterdays, wannabes.
I mean they could solve hunger if they wanted to. That's why we need to eat the rich
Lad is trying to be the new garyseconomics
And this still doesn't make up for your pro israili stance.
Elons losing his money quicker than his hair in his 30s 😂😂😂
Leave Mittney ALONE!! 😭
USAID scammer
Stop assessing wealth in monetary terms. A human in fact needs very little. $2 per day in so many countries. Perhaps $20 in more developed ones. Anything more is excessive. If you have $1 billion more than you need, $1 million, $1000 or $1 it makes no difference, its all more. So stop being concerned about it. It isnt equality. They earned it. Would you take money from someone with $1000 more than they need and give half to someone with only $1. Shall we pool all the money and share equally regardless of effort or success in our endeavours. That wont end well. Money is not the answer. It isnt even the reward. Its nothing. Its made up for the most part. If you want to be truly wealthy them work on being a better you, every hour of every day. That builds self esteem and self worth, wealth in yourself, that is how you build wealth, a wealthy person.
thank printed, fiat money issued by central banks
If we are short on Social Security. We have choices of Billionaire to fund it
That is a perverted, uncontroled and overrated trading system. Toyota for example are making more than 40 billion dollars profit a year and they are worth just 200 billion. Tesla is making 7 billion profit but they are rated more than 800 billion dollar. That is what we call a hughe bouble… and if a bouble explodes, it can cause a world wide crysis.
If we consider each human as a mouth to feed…
– why is any worth more than 100x another?!
Trump coming for all of them 😂
Wealth is fluid therefore can change in an instant as we saw with the 2008 financial crash. There are now 801 billionaires based in the United States with a combined wealth totaling $6.22 trillion. About 22 million millionaires in the US yet the US only comprises 40% of the world's millionaires.
The top 3 people who run the U.S. government. They also own the President
We live in a sick world. And it's getting crazier every day.
Disgraceful
Rory Stewart, NO credibility left after his disastrous election prediction. Total waste listening to this moron!
Not just that the three hold all the wealth and evade tax but they also control social media and print media.
Who let Romney run our blood banks?
How much does Putin have?
One of the worst things you can be is bitter about other people's success.
That’s called success
You know, I just watched Gary's Economics talking about inequality being the real challenge ~ and here you are illustrating it so powerfully ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rAb_p5DCC3E )
And they earned every penny. And it's their money, not anyone else's
As per Sharia there should be a tax on wealth, not earnings
Rory Stewart should NEVER have been a Conservative. There isn't another of them that come even close to the respect I have for him… and I'm in my 70's
This is total bs
I'm not a fan of any of those three.
The bottom 50 percent have a few trillion in home equity. YouTube nonsense!!
