After 11 years of Labour, the gap between the wealthy and the poor is as large as ever. Why?
Comment: Traditional jobs in the West have been moving to the East and south. Professions will always find a way to make mney either privately or from the government coffers.
Comment: The answer is the socialist policies that prevail in the UK and Europe result in a massive growth of those who don't need to work because they live on the welfare state. I personally know a family who from the grandparents down to the grandchildren have never worked and have no intention of starting because their income would go down if they worked. Interestingly the very rich getting richer is not due to work but speculation, moving money from the poor to the rich, witness the current oil problem.
Comment: Maybe the situation is a byproduct of the capitalist based economy. It's no different in America, and possibly much worse. It's a well known fact that the top percentage has 90% of the wealth, and the middle class is shrinking.
Comment: The widening economic gap between rich and poor is a consequence of the widening cultural gap between them. As more and more poor people have children without marriage, more and more poor children are raised without the cultural heritage needed even to have a chance to do better.
