  Mark - you could not be more wrong, our economic system does not 'require a level of poverty' the opposite is true. The more spare dosh people have the more goods and services can be bought. We need more overall wealth through greater wealth creation and that can only be done by the private sector, if its allowed to do so by interfering politicians.
  
  You need to worry less about how much the better off have and more about creating opportunities for the less well off to improve their circumstances through working.
  
  I see that an experiment recently found that strange things happened to Job Seeker claimants who were expected to work to earn their benefits. Immediately 20% of them stopped claiming while another 30% refused to do the work expected of them and had their benefits stopped. It seems these people were earning 'on the black' and preferred to lose their benefits than their 'black earnings'. Hopefully this will be run out over the whole country.
