  Share what exactly? How do you expect to share a mansion to buy some school uniforms, for example?

    Mansions don’t fall from the sky, they are built. To build a mansion you have to spend money. If you don’t spend your money on a mansion, you can use it for something else, like school uniforms.

      Amazing this is too hard a concept for some to reach by themselves.

      Yeah, but the mansion is already there and the money went to the builders. So, what’s your plan exactly? Take the money from the builders?

        When do you think the last mansion was built?

    We need more wealth taxes, increased public spending, and wage increases for the public sector and the lowest paid jobs. And we really need to be putting serious effort into introducing some kind of universal income. That’s how you share wealth.

      You can’t tax wealth.

        Wut?

        I mean I can’t, you’re right, but the government and HMRC can. If the government actually wanted to.
