I recently watched the BBC documentary, The Super-Rich and Us.
I am getting more left wing as I get older, and I think I am now of the opinion that we should take a cap, saying £10 million, and anyone worth more than that should be lined up and shot.
Well, maybe not that. At least without legislation that allows us to take take control of their wealth. However, if someone did murder a tax-avoiding billionaire, I am not sure I would be able to judge their actions as immoral.
It is also worth watching the TED talk by Nick Hanauer on why plutocrats such as him need to be stoped.
