As Britain's rich see their wealth grow in leaps and bounds are we risking a dislocation in society?

Question

The extremely rich are getting even richer according to the World Wealth Report, widely discussed in the newspapers over the past few weeks.

The number of super-rich increased by almost 9% last year.

Answer 1

People who work and try to succeed in life should be rewarded with monetary gains. Why should I feel sorry for someone who's more interested in being lazy and useless, they get what they work for... nothing.

Communism is founded on this premise, punish those who have, by forcing them to give to the have nots. If someone could argue LOGICALLY why hard workers should support bums, I'd love to hear it!

Answer 2

It is a burn out. The rich will get richer till there is nothing left to take. It could lead to a global depression, insurrection, war.

   But unless things stabilize most of that 9% will be dirt poor in 2-3 decades. Just think what happened in 1929.. things often go in circles.
