there's this lovely phrase about the working class which shews a marvelously British contempt - the "undeserving poor" - the "great unwashed" is another term of abuse for people that keep things like rubbish collection, primary school teaching, nursing, taxi driving, and other essentials working.
so i have a new one - the undeserving rich
this is not people in senior surgical jobs, or people that wrote a great tune or acted well in a great movie, or invented a cool new thing (for work or play)
these are the ultra rich and the people that inherited everything and added nothing.
this is to clarify - I am not against people becoming (or being) wealthy
this is to declare my utter contempt for those people who degraded a generation, and in the process, took the spoils. These guys would embarass Atilla the Hun or Ghenghis Khan
let alone Bill Gates or Frederick Sanger. Or even Paul McCartney or Steve McQueen (either actor or artist:)
Those are the people that should be paying 99% tax after the first 5500 pounds
the other guys deserve every penny - well quite a lot of them anyhow....
