Yes it truly baffles me how we have fostered this society.

I was listening to Gary from Garyโ€™s Economics on the Diary of a CEO and he was tearing into the hosts on that show. What struck me is that Daniel, the host, seemed to have this simplistic view that if you want more money become an entrepreneur. Kind of glossing over the fact most people donโ€™t want that, they want to earn enough money doing regular work. Then I donโ€™t think he has even considered what the world would look like with Doctors, Trash Collectors, etc if everybody becomes an entrepreneur.

Then the owner will of the show Stephen shared a story about his mate who got rich and left the UK cause of the taxes. And again I canโ€™t comprehend getting rich in a country and then leaving cause they want me to pay my fair share. I am happy to pay tax for the greater good, I just wish everybody paid their fair share.
