But surely, you cannot object to my thoughts on the increasing diparity between the earnings and wealth of the wealthy relative to the bottom 25% or even the average earner. The only way to address this is to heavily tax the wealthy and wealth. There is no justification for anyone earning more that £100k PA when a technician with a science degree working in a school or college earns about £15k PA.

I can understand the query between pay, one that I have asked myself. I think a 100k is low. I do feel we need to up the minimum wage but is £15 to much?
Hopefully you and I can find middle ground. There are wages that are on the face of it ridiculous but how do you compare an office cleaner to a surgeon when it comes to pay? A loaf of bread and a tube of toothpaste costs the both the same
15k seems low, what do they do and how many hours do they work?
We have professions that we under value.
We have people that make it into the top 5% of wealth by hard work and being careful and not by being high earners
and I hope you will appreciate their efforts and not look to take it away.
