The rich get richer - it's true.. and it's the subject of much hand wringing.
why, oh, why.
the reason is simple - and I will tell you plain as day.
THE RICH DO NOT PAY TAX.
even if you earned as much, within a very short time they would have more than you again. After all, you pay 40% on anything over pocket change.
case in point - Goldman Sachs
profits last year: 2.3bn, tax paid 14m ( you work out the percentage )
nb) it shouldn't even exist anymore - it needed $10bn from Uncle Sam to keep going - yet this year will pay "biggest bonuses ever" - go figure.
