The one percent
Jamie Johnson belongs to one of the richest families in America. I really respect him, in this video he ask his peers and family to talk about what its like been wealthy, and how they keep getting richer its a glimpse of their lifestyle, and how they keep accumulating more and more wealth.
What you find as you watch the video, is that his peers are very reluctant to speak about their wealth, and how they are quick to shut the door ,on the realization of how unbalanced society is in terms of wealth, it is almost like the taboo subject.
He interviews Milton Friedman who appears to be the man responsible, for the unbalanced financial crisis in America. He stood up for what he perceives as being right, and is a massive credit to his family, he gives me hope that there are people at the top of society, trying to do that right thing and not being self consumed with their own greed.
If you have time please watch the video, first 10mins are a bit random but then I found I enjoyed the rest of it certainly was an eye opener for me.

TAX DODGING
TAX DODGING
We all have to pay it, BUT for some reason very large companies, politicians and other business owners, and the very wealthy seem to be able to get away with not paying the full amount of TAX that they should be.
How is it that I don't know how to tax dodge? do you? does anyone that you know? lets face it, if we all knew how to do it, we would tax dodge!!
Because who doesn't want to be RICH or BETTER OFF .That amazing feeling we all get on pay day, then you see IT tax!!! And national insurance contributions.
But the problem I have is, I earn below the national average for wages as do a lot of people for this country, and when the government start to raise taxes, I cant help but feel really bitter towards all the BELL ENDS that have avoided and still are avoiding paying taxes that they should be.
Like many others I have to make my money go far as possible, but the government answer is to increase my taxes, cut public spending, halt minimum wages, and put a freeze on nurses, teachers and military /police and fire services, yes the country is in debt and we all have to make sacrifices. But what I fail to understand is WHAT SACRIFICES HAVE THE SUPER RICH OF THIS COUNTRY MADE? It does not effect them, in my eyes if they have to pay more for food, fuel heating bills or taxes its nothing to them is it?? why is it the rich get richer but we get poorer. All of the above does effect the teacher, policemen, firemen the nurses the military and public sector workers. THE BACKBONE OF THIS COUNTRY.
look at this article relating to Bangladesh:
