Agree with your post about Corbyn not getting elected but don't agree with the simplicity of 'this is how capitalism works' We don't live in a personal bubble, we live in a society which needs doctors, teachers, nurses et al. I have 4 sons, two in the city who earn a lot of money and one a teacher and a doctor. Can you honestly tell me that the 2 in the city are worth 12X more (before annual bonuses) than the doctor or teacher who I know work equally hard and in my opinion offer far more to society. I understand the argument that the profits in the city and taxes pay towards their salaries but all are needed by society. Its very easy to sit in your bubble and pay for your kids education, pay for your health care and complain about lack of police or roads not being repaired etc. I don't vote labour but still recognise the inequality and widening gap in those that have and those that don't and I speak as one of the former. I think we ignore that inequality at our peril!!
