The problem with directors paying themselves £3m a year is that they push property prices up, not just with second, third and fifteenth homes but with buy-to-lets for easy investment.
Average Joes like the majority of the UK suffer the most, as our rents increase and the possibility of ever getting on the property ladder become an even more distant dream than they were a decade ago when we had to spend 25 years paying off a mortgage with a small deposit and payments. Now only the rich can afford the deposit necessary to even beging a mortgage.
And there's the problem. That capitalist dream is and always will be just a dream for most of us. We love shows like X Factor where 'normal' people strike it rich. One couple wins £100m on the Euromillions and suddenly we all have to know every intricate detail about what they are doing with the money.
The thing about these media spotlights on 'insignificant' people getting lucky and winning a fortune is that it keeps the masses of people believing in capitalism, so they keep trawling on through the rat-race in the delusion that everybody has the opportunity to make it big in this world.
But in reality, we don't.
A 0.01% chance of making a fortune is not worth 99% of the world living in poverty so that 1% can live in extreme luxury.
If you take out the extravagant lifestyles of the rich and famous and the capitalist property owners, and everybody just has a normal life where we're all relatively well off but nobody has more money than they could ever dream of, call it what you like, at least we'll all be comfortable and would have more than just distant dreams.
Yes those that work harder can earn more, but not millions more, and risk isn't the foundation of success, rewarded when it happens to go well and punished when it happens to go wrong.
