    It's a good analogy and one Labour supporters can't argue with. You always want more off people who earn more than you. Not taking into account the fact a lot of the rich employ people. I'm all for people getting on in life. Some people are brighter than others and make more of their lives. Good on 'em, I'm totally working class but don't envy the rich.

    Les, these rich people, many pay their workers the minimum wage, not the living wage, and because they pay the minimum wage they are entitled to claim certain benefits so they can survive, meaning all taxpayers are subsidizing these rich people
