No excuse it should't happen but why flaunt the car like this in his position?

The top 85 people in the world are as wealthy as all of the poorest half of the worlds total population. An unbelievable stat I heard from the head of the International Monetary Fund a few weeks ago on a live broadcast. 85 individuals have as much wealth as half the fking population of the world.??????????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Governments need to work with each on an international basis to tax these people as I can guarantee all of those 85 people live in tax havens such as Monaco or Middle East.

The rest of us who earn decent salaries pay 40-50% income tax. I can easily see riots like this in England again. There is an under class that has been formed over the last 30 years that has no hope. People can't afford to pay there food bills and energy bills whilst the ultra rich get richer. In Russia they generally get richer by corruption if they're in politics so don't feel sorry at all for the politician but shame about the car. Rant over...

If the 85 individuals have that much cash i.e. wealth they should be taxed on their wealth. they obviously haven't been taxed on their income for a few years. That should be self explanatory for someone so obviously as omnipotent as you. That stat is no less compelling because there are so many kids in the world. And where theres a will....

No one else is taxed on wealth, why should they be?

You do understand that cash and wealth are not the same thing??
Do you honestly think these people have hundreds of piles of notes in their spare rooms?!

More than a quarter of the world's population is under 15 years of age. How much wealth had you amassed b the time you were 15??

Unfortunately, it seems your claims aren't backed up with any evidence whatsoever.

Carry on...

I know 2 of the people on the list of leading 85 wealthiest individuals personally. They do not pay tax. Its nice that they're both on the list on Pledge link so if thats in motion as promised hats off to them for the philanthropy. I know they give masses to charity but did not realise they had pledged 50% of their wealth to charity. They still do not pay tax though but in the circumstances with being signatories to The Pledge I do not think it matters.

Are you just looking for an argument? Go away and have a play about with your Porsche configurator and choose what stitching you want on your GT3. Pink would look good! Jog on. Toodle pips.

Seems your are full of claims, short of evidence...

If you are going post stuff you've blatantly made up, don't be surprised if someone points out how much bullst you're talking!

PS - Thanks, my GT3 has already arrived - standard (platinum) stitching.

The two individuals I know on the list do not pay income tax? They live in tax havens. I suppose one could argue in their defence that the businesses they are invested in globally pay lots of tax and create jobs but as individuals they do not pay tax. I think this is wrong but if they're giving away 50% of all their wealth I think I can forgive them. I would imagine the rest of that list of 85 may be similar in terms of paying income tax. I've been CEO of two financial services firms since my early 30's so know the difference between wealth and income and do not need patronising from you on the subject thanks. If you think inequality is okay and you want to pick holes in some random points I make thats fine but I'm not looking for a philosophical discussion with you chum. Fine you have much more intellect than me and are v.witty and uber clever. Cheryl Cole wants to shag you too. Now pls go away if you don't mind....

So you've extrapolated from 2 people you 'know' to the other 85? Not much of a "guarantee" then.

Congratulations! If only your claims were consistent with your 'knowledge'.

Where did I say that??
