The Sunday Times Rich list shows that the super rich were never this well off before the credit crunch.

Great news ... for them

Wealth appears to be like energy. If someone has a lot, it means someone else has lost something.

Likewise, in a crash, the lost wealth has to go somewhere ...

As a friend of mine eloquently said ...

"I'm bored shitless of the opinion we need to provide an environment where the super-rich aren't taxed in a punitive way. There are going to be massive cuts in public services, education etc after this election no matter who gets in power, and these fucks pay millions to accountants so they can get advice on how to avoid paying tax? ... sometimes ignorance really is bliss. This annual list pisses me off so much. the average personal debt in this country is £10000, surely that's worth a headline, Murdoch?"

We're being bled dry by vampires.
