Wages vs Wealth

We need to make work pay again.

[crazylemon]

Its almost like a generation of people worked, and when they were working made sure they were earning plenty then once they'd made their money they shifted it so they could keep making more money and damn everyone who followed them

[SirRuffDiamond]

Cameron promised worker representation on boards but the spineless chinless wonder dropped that along with everything else …

[redeyegooner]

The people that do all the work shouod not have the least.

[yinyangyin]

Don’t increase the minimum wage reduce the maximum wage to 10x the minimum wage and then every boss will increase the minimum wage with very little persuasion

[wmurray]

Lefty economics is attractive to people who know nothing about economics

[mikehunt]

Everything is great, until they run out of other people's money!

[leighmartin]

Wages and the stock market are not closely linked. Too simplistic.

[IMO]

Take it back starmer needs to tax the billionares

Universal Basic income! I know it's not the answer to an issue however it would help a lot!

Nothing stops you investing your money in stocks and shares. Maybe one way to help combat inequality is to teach people about money in our schools ✌🏻

[stand.up.FFS.]

A lot of money in the markets is from QE... that is where inflation came from, the markets have inflated but the currency is devalued, inflation is not things getting more expensive, it's your money having less value....when the markets crash many will lose everything... they are manipulated to take money from your pensions... the only real wealth store is physical assets like land, gold, silver, fuel and knowing the people to trust around you.

This is why i feel this system is corrupt!

[EdOeuna]

What will a left wing government do to rebalance the wage issue? Taxing the rich won’t work because they’ll just leave or move their money so it’s un-taxable. Plus there are so few millionaires / billionaires in the >60M population.

The reality is to have income tax and then tax on spending money.

[jamestownsend]

Isn’t all of our work place pensions in stocks and shares?

[jbuchan]

Oh i wouldn't worry about Liz Truss, she won't b around long to do much..

[kenhubbard]

ONLY WAY TO CHANGE THIS IS THROUGH THE UNION MOVEMENT, BUT YOU WON'T SO SUFFER

[leighmartin]

Also Jeff Bezos looks like the head of a happy tortoise.

[anthony]

I mean how does this change affect US stocks?

Instead of saying “since the conservatives took power”, they should say “since what year, how much money has been printed and when did our central banks had full autonomy”.
