Mark Weston is correct money does not grow on trees. It grows from money printing machines which have direct pipelines to the banksters and the wealthy. Since there is no pipeline to the workers, disabled and poor, then the only solution is to tax much higher the banksters and wealthy. Here in the US FDR and company taxed the “1%” 90+% but they were not taxed on their first 50k usd. Today that would be 350k usd. If they are not satisfied with that healthy yearly salary let them leave but there money stays in UK or USA. And there is an third to having shareholders. It called is worker directed enterprises. I don’t know about the UK but they are really on the rise here in the USA. When Argentina went through a period of a 6 months or so 2002 in default, many employees were going back to the factories and businesses that were left idle and making goods and providing services and making some money.
