Now apparently "poor" people are jealous and shouldnt be drinking, socialising & smoking then
they too might be billionaires.
Now if she was self made I might consider that she knows what she is talking about but when you
are left GBP 13 billion by your mining magnate father Lang Hancock what would she know about
being "poor" Its far more efficient to inherit wealth.
Apparently its the "billionaires and millionaires are doing more than anyone to help the poor by investing their money and creating jobs”
Lets look at the drinking first of all as she is accusing the average worker of, handily the
Australians had a department research this (h/t Bill Mitchell)
http://www.aihw.gov.au/WorkArea/DownloadAsset.aspx?id=6442474884
Its conclusion
"When personal income by alcohol drinking status was analysed, the data show that as personal income increases, so does the prevalence and frequency of drinking … For example, the prevalence of any alcohol consumption is 95% among the highest income group, compared with around 80% among the lowest income group, and there is a fairly constant gradient across these groups. This applies for both sexes."
So it seems the better your income the more likely you are to drink.
Socialising
What does she mean by socialising, humans are social creatures, whether its chatting with friends,
a night out down the pub, playing some sport, even going to church is a social activity, spending
time with family etc.
No friends Gina is that it? dont spend time with your family? actually we know the answer to that last
question as her kids bought legal action against her over trust funds.
Finally the billionaires & millionaires do more to helping the poor myth.
Now certainly some do Bill Gates of course comes to mind. But what churches,charities and other organisations dont
help the poor then?
Or does she mean by creating jobs? well missing something there im afraid the wealth creators
are you,me and everyone else spending without customers businesses are nothing.
