You could expropriate every rich man's bank account as they have done in Cyprus and share out the proceeds evenly among the whole population and it wouldn't cure poverty. In fact all it would do would harm the spending and earning potential of the very people who pay the most tax and therefore contribute the most to the benefits bill. If you want proof of this, take a look back at the old eastern bloc, where everyone was rewarded equally regardless of what they did. The result was not nations full of happy equal people. The result was nations full of impoverished, frightened people who eventually overthrew the system by force.
Some people are rich, some people are poor. That's life.

flip side is they paying more tax because workers getting shafted though. What do they expect when they hold all the wealth.
Dont the top 10% own 90% uk wealth or something obscene stat.
Therefore they want the money then they should pay for it simples. Dont want pay highest tax then dont take 90% of the money. Better wages means less burden on themselves in taxes.
Motto these rich is you cannot both possess your cake and eat it. You either distribute your wealth to better wages more jobs result less reliance on welfare, or you pay taxes so government supports your weak wages and lack of private sector jobs. We cant do both what rich masters want we either go down the public sector jobs supported wages with them paying higher taxes to cover. They bite bullet give us jobs and the wages to cover the standard of living.
That crux issue this government not interested in educating these people some home truths.
