CEO compensation has increased 1,316% since 1978. And worker compensation? Just 28%. The system is rigged. We need to start taxing the rich so they pay their fair share.

That 1980s boom he’s talking about is because we sold off the family silver, which lead to decades of the highest energy & rail fares in Europe plus sewage in rivers.. oh and being held to ransom by fat cats warning that if we want anything to improve we need to pay all over again. Fuck off Simon.

Richest 1% of Britons owns more wealth than the bottom 70% of the population combined. 50 richest families hold more wealth than the poorest half of the population combined. The concentration of wealth in fewer hands has not provided the necessary economic stimulus. Need redistribution.
