| Quote ="David Titan"Proof the trickle down effect is not a myth:
Many years ago several successful and wealthy entrepreneurs set up a business which proved a success over the years, growing and generating more profits the owners. The owners decided to expand the business to take full advantage of demand and generate further profits for the owners. As a result they expanded the workforce. I was one of the employees they hired and because of the success of the owners, motivated by the desire for higher profits, I have a job which allows me to afford a place to live, own a car, travel around the world etc.
In addition, I am able to get free healthcare, access an excellent public transport system, drive on a fantastic road network and live in a safe society thanks to the excellent work of the police and military. All of this is thanks to the taxes paid by the rich, the 1% of the population that generate 30% of taxes.
Income inequality is meaningless. All that matters is that the poor get richer. Poor British people today are far better off than at any time in our history. When we talk of poverty today we mean that somebody only has an Iphone 4 instead of an Iphone 5.
Poland has far lower income inequality than the UK, yet that hasn't stopped hundreds of thousands of Poles moving to the UK. It seems that they are willing to trade equality for the UK minimum wage which allows them to live in their own home, own their own car, eat out regularly, go on holiday several times per year.
All those people who say that wealth is relative blah blah blah and the rising gap between the rich and poor is something that we must do something about, I ask where would you rather live:
Niger (which scores very highly for equality) or the UK (which doesn't score as well)?'"
Thats very funny, well done and thank you for finding the login details for this comedy character you created some time ago in order to provide some light entertainment to the rest of us, its much appreciated.

I'm sorry that I upset you with my hurtful comment but well done anyway on rediscovering the login details for your comedy character and for taking the time to put together such a fine script in the style of your alter ego - where did you lose the login details, were they down the back of the setee ?

I see that you have provided no counter-argument to where yourself and I, not to mention where all the other people who are currently employed, are going to get jobs (which provide us with the money to live our lives) if not from wealthy successful people.
Nor have you provided a riposte to the common-sense assertion that relative wealth is irrelevant, and therefore income inequality, whilst it is absolute wealth that is important.
I can only assume from your failure to respond to the propositions put forward that you have nothing of any intellectual significance to contribute. Once again the politics of hate, division and envy of the left have failed to hold up in the wake of logic, common sense and rational thought. I see you have therefore resorted to one of the default options for leftists of patronising. At least you didn't choose the other default option of declaring me to be racist, homophobic, sexist or xenophobic.

 You're really good, but why did it take you 32 minutes to log out and then back in again?

| Did you really expect a member of the chattering classes on here to respond do you?
According to Jerry, Mintball, Mr Fish, Graham everything in this country is rubbish - makes me wonder why they haven't emigrated to somewhere like Sweden which appears to offer the Utopian society they so clearly crave.

Because a moaner here would be a moaner in Sweden.
This country is a land of opportunity but most Brits just don,t see it. I recall in the 1980's that there had become either 100 or 1'000 "Patel" millionaires here. They had only been here 5 minutes - most refugees from Idi Amin. There is little wrong here other than people with poor attitudes and a weak work ethic.

Think Dally is being truly democratic and he's accusing everyone apart from himself of course.

I'm sure you can find the evidence where any of us have declared "everything in this country" to be "rubbish".
You really walk into it, don't you?
Try thinking before you post something that merely makes you look more than a little daft, given that you have absolutely no way of being able to support your hysterical claim.

He's never bothered in the past, what makes you think he'll have a change of heart now?
Unless of course the Wail had a headline of
[size=200"THINK"[/size
(obviously that would be followed by "about all those immigrant workers, over here, stealing our benefits, raping our women, stealing our jobs, molesting children and generally ruining blighty"icon_wink.gif

He can't even get the name right so you are on to plums if you think you are going to get anything else out of him.
It will be time for his little vanishing trick, again.
