if my grandmother was here she would explain it to you.
Back when my family was all in Europe and and they were rich (before the germans came and had their various invasions), the idea was that being wealthy meant you had a Responsibility to Raise others UP to your level. It was called Class. You acted in a certain way and thought about your actions and how they affected others. You didn't flaunt your money in people's faces. you weren't trying to make yourself feel good by making others feel bad.

but, if you weren't such a peasant, maybe you would understand.

Sorry bout that, but none of the stuff on the posting page seems to work with AOS or at least IBrowse. Even the copy and paste drops the quote box.

Maybe I need to use a PC, as most folks seem to do here.

Perhaps. But that doesn't make this unique transaction into a bad thing. That's about the behaviour of the owners of the money, not about the transaction itself.

Yes! Exacly! The transaction is irrelevant!

So the whereabouts of the 100k is irrelevant? Even in terrorist's hands?

So now.....  you're saying that Harrods... is using the parking lot... to launder money... for terrorists..... or...

...

...tea in china?

Spending your own money is not the issue, having so much you can spend so much so frivolously when most people can work hard 9-5, 7 days a week for 6 months to earn as much. Can't you see that?

Don't you see the injustice of it? I guess not, or by now you'd have got the point. I guess thats the result of living in a country where it's long been acceptable for people to get stinking rich on a lucky break and then raise themselves above the rest of humanity.

You can insert the tags manually though, right? I'm pretty sure I managed it when I came on here with iBrowse a couple of weeks back. :-)

Why must it?

Why the Country? Why not the World? What have you got against the World?

and what happens to the "Average" if nobody makes above it, but people still make below it, doesn't the average go down?

Nope, haven't said that. Read again.

"Can't you see that?"

That's why I put up that simple little chart.

Giving you a chance to put your foot in your own mouth.

But I doubt you will give an answer.

That carrot that you call "getting lucky" is what provided the incentive to build most of the world we have today. Without that carrot you'd have to make do with a stick.

The carrot's a better incentive.

Because the economy isn't based on 'world economy' yet. If you want to make this possible, the lands which are poor now have to be equally productive as the rich countries. And I think we have to invest in these countries to make this possible, rather than the plunder that's going on right now (with wages kept as low as possible)

and what happens to the "Average" if nobody makes above it, but people still make below it, doesn't the average go down?

You know, the trees do not grow into space, wich has it's reasons.

No he doesn't! He only wants the very rich ones to do it.

Wonder how he knows they're rich? The buyer could be a family business that needs that parking space for storage of a delivery vehicle.  :-)

It's not much of a carrot if we all know we're never going to get it!

What would be have to do to earn so much? Working would never do it. Robbing a bank would probably not even cover it. Winning the lottery might, if you like those 14 million to one odds.

No T_Bone, this isn't bright shining capitalism - its basic class-division greed shown by Britain's self-declared upper class twat plutocracy who have been sucking the life out of us for far too long. And they whine about welfare and immigrants!

@Fade

Make sense, for once. Making nebulous statements isn't really doing much for your credibility. I'm hardly going to put my foot in my mouth falling into logical traps that don't have any logic!

------------------

And if I decide to work 16 hours a day, 7 days a week, for 15 years, so I can get myself out of that $25.000 a year category, I am then supposed to feel guilty and give away say everything above $50,000?

Do you actually think people are that stupid?

And I was right about you not answering the little chart question.

We're not talking about countries, we're talking about people. the lines you are talking about are artificial. You think you should have more money than someone else, just because there's an artificial line between you?

 If you want to make this possible, the lands which are poor now have to be equally productive as the rich countries. And I think we have to invest in these countries to make this possible, rather than the plunder that's going on right now (with wages kept as low as possible)

So you're saying the problem isn't that there are rich countries, the problem is we need to make the poor countries rich too.

I agree.... but you need to apply that same reasoning to PEOPLE too...

The problem isn't that there are rich PEOPLE, the problem is that we need to make the poor people rich TOO.

See how we made that nice and consistant? :-)

and what happens to the "Average" if nobody makes above it, but people still make below it, doesn't the average go down?

Trees do, however, grow an average height around the world, regardless of artificial lines inbetween them. :-)
