POLICIES
- The maximum gross annual income a person can receive
should be limited to the annual income of the Prime
Minister (which should remain at about the current level)
unless:-
- this income is augmented by awards for special
achievement.
OPINIONS
- The difference between the incomes of the richest and
poorest in our present society is unjust to the point of
obscenity.
- The rewards given to some members of society bear no
relation to their merit.
- When moronic, adolescent warblers of moronic love songs
can be paid vastly more than the Prime Minister of the
country something is seriously wrong. Ditto for bean-pole,
cat-walk walkers, and people who devote their lives to
doing fatuous things with balls or becoming the best
hopper, skipper and jumper in the world. Entertainers of
nearly every sort are grossly overpaid for doing what
they enjoy. Businessmen and managers are another group
who grossly over-estimate their value; most of them only
achieve and hold their position by corrupt means, ie. by
supporting the corruption of their predecessors and
depriving their subordinates of influence or
opportunities.
- Something has to be done to bring about a fairer
distribution of wealth.
- The most arduous, difficult, important and responsible
job in the country is almost certainly that of the Prime
Minister, why should anybody else have the arrogance and
conceit to imagine they are entitled to be paid more? We
now have the ridiculous situation in which a person who
devotes his life to something as trivial, inconsequential
and enjoyable as playing the game of football is paid as
much in a fortnight as the Prime Minister is paid in a
year. This gross distortion of worth has to be brought to
an end. The fact that a person's work is seen and enjoyed
by millions of people around the world watching their TVs
doesn't make that person's work valuable. The trashiest
and most trivial things are usually the most popular,
sport, soaps and game shows on the TV and porn sites on
the Net for example. The mass media are negating the
benefits of education and reducing the population to the
level where they value the work of people who play
cretinous characters in ridiculous soaps, or people who
knock little white balls around the countryside and into
little holes, more highly than people doing difficult and
important work.
- It is apparent that the market doesn't adjust rewards to
appropriate levels. Either the tax system or a universal
job grading scheme needs to be used to correct the
situation.
- Being talented is a substantial benefit in itself and
being famous and admired is a substantial reward. To
expect to be filthy rich as well is contemptible. Only
cretins and decadent egoists want to be rich and to
flaunt their selfish vanity. Anybody with any
intelligence knows about the law of diminishing returns.
- Everybody has the right to know how much money everybody
else has and how they came by it. We all have the right
to know who is fair and honest and who is a cheating
crook. People only want their affairs to be secret when
they have something disreputable to hide.
