"Should the amount of personal wealth be capped for billionaires? Who needs that amount of money? Cap them at 500 million and use the rest to fix hospitals, schools, poverty etc.177 billionaires live in the UK 177 x 500 million would be 88 billion to help fix the UK Just thinking x" Nobody *needs* £1m, but if they worked hard in their respective fields, or had the foresight to exploit a legal and morally sound opportunity, more power to them. It’s their money and they can do whatever they want with it. It is a travesty none have given me a handout, but I’ve made my peace with that. Could they consider building hospitals and prisons? Yes, of course. But remember - a lot of their wealth isn’t real money. It’s ‘worth’ not wealth. | |||

 Just consider how much tax these people pay. Not necessarily always income tax, but in stamp duty when they buy houses, vat when they buy cars, planes, yachts, clothes, jewellery etc etc.
It’s unseen, but they are probably ploughing millions into the treasury through taxes. | |||

"If it's 'worth' not 'wealth' it isn't 'their money'. It's promises and hope. And that's the weird world we're in. People can be unbelievably rich with money that doesn't exist on the basis that maybe in the future it might." 8% of the worlds wealth is physical cash. Mental | |||

"It's a complex question with no clear answer. If we admit to living in a free society, then people should be free to accumulate as much wealth as they can provided it is done so in a legal manner. Does someone need 500 million to live well and comfortably? Absolutely not. Could / should that excess wealth be used for more altruistic means? Probably. If a hard limit is imposed then you transition to a collectivist society akin to communism. Some societies might have more affinity for this system. I don't think a top down imposition would work in western society. " Nailed it. | |||

"Why should it be capped, it's their personal wealth? " Because you get dick swinging competitions over fucking Space while human beings still don't have clean drinking water. Granted, it's not their fault but it sure as hell is dystopian and that gap is only due to get wider as the select few try to hoarde the wealth and pull up the ladder that they already climbed. | |||

"Despite my socialist values, the concept is pants, for lots of reasons. However, a very big one would be how impossible it would be to implement… Unless it were a global ban, billionaires would simply move themselves to tax havens, such as Monaco. Even if you’re only sitting on a few million that’s worth doing. Entry to the elite Monaco residency club starts from just £500,000… " I mean, they're already doing that in large part *shrug* Paying tax is for us plebs.

"No, if that's the amount of money that person has then its up to them what they do with it. Anyone in the world can be a billionaire, skin colour has nothing to do with the original question the OP asked but yet again gets dragged into the conversation again, and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again. Yes it gets boring! I know you hate talking about race! I already apologised for bringing it up though.
I have no issue with a "race" subject being discussed on a thread about that subject.
This was not that thread, so it doesn't need to be discussed.
And before I get accused of being a racist (again) I have a very multi cultural family so I definitely am not!
Enjoy your day everyone!
I already explained why I brought it up. Because other people were talking about how these people were hardworking to obtain their fortune. So you know, just responding to them.
I love that you have a multicultural family. I have rich family members just in case anyone was going to accuse me of disliking rich people. " | |||

"No, if they have earned their money it's theirs, no one should have any say on what they spend it on. Mrs " The issue with that is in your use of the word "earned" There are of course a wide range of views on its meaning but I'm sure most would agree that a shop worker doesn't "earn" a wage of millions a year, a person who re- mortgages their house to start a thriving business on the other hand most would agree has the right to say they've earned a far higher income. The issue is when people believe that any individual can possibly have some special talent or ability that earns them vast sums of money. Let's say I get lucky and someone gifts me a large unprofitable steel works. Through hard work, clever ideas and and at personal financial risk 'I' turn the business around and it starts making millions a year. Is it fair that I continue to pay my workers the same whilst paying myself millions in the belief that all the profit is created by me or do I recognise that part of the turnaround has come about due to staff cut backs meaning the staff I have now work harder and share some of the profits with them? Do I recognise the fact that investing in new tech has made the process cheaper and Thetford sell my product for less or do I have quiet little chats with the bosses of other steel suppliers and agree to keep the price high and pocket the money thus making millions off the brains of cleverengineers that actually "earned" my profits? The reality is it is impossible to earn billions. Anyone getting this money is employing thousands and thousands of people who are all working hard to generate that profit yet somehow we convince each other that the person at the top is the only one actually earning it, the rest are just doing their jobs. This is why we need laws. Capitalism has massive benefits - it has arguably been the single biggest driver in the improvement of living standards in human history but it needs boundaries. Without these we go back to a world of haves and have not with unscrupulous people able to exploit and abuse others. | |||

"Should the amount of personal wealth be capped for billionaires? Who needs that amount of money? Cap them at 500 million and use the rest to fix hospitals, schools, poverty etc.177 billionaires live in the UK 177 x 500 million would be 88 billion to help fix the UK Just thinking x" You will find most very successful people give away most of those wealth as money doesn’t interest them , bill gates etc. Basically these people object to governments telling them what to do especially when they usually know how to solve the worlds problems better than the governments. Hospitals and schools can’t be fixed with money , it’s the people that use them need fixing | |||

The fact is a lot of wealthy people already take their wealth and hoard it overseas in tax havens. But still have fixed asset cash cows in this country that they can't move or would become worthless if moved. | |||
