yeah this is, one of my friends asked me some thing like this as well, when I talk about them,

sometimes I catch myself doing it, talking  about tax, if we don't tax them then the

future is going to be bad for us and our  kids um this is a funny one for me because  

you know like um obviously I've spoken in videos  and in the media that I've made a lot of money um

so some people say that that means I'm on their side, I'm one of them, um 

but it's a funny one because you know  like I've said in many videos i grew up poor  

like in the school I was in I was like I was the  poorest kid in the school one of the poorest  

kids in school and i was poor up until i was 22  23 when i was started doing this job you know  

um and I've experienced most of my life it's been  a life being poor and my parents are poor you know

you know, my brother's doing alright now  my sister struggles to get through sometimes

and a lot of my friends growing up are still but then at the same time I've been to work in  

the city and you know after i went to study at  Oxford and then you go to these spaces and um  

they're full of rich people from rich families  and um the truth is I'm, now I'm a rich person  

but I'm not from a rich family and I didn't go to those schools that those kids went to so  

when I feel like, who am I? where am I  from? I don't feel like those kids I  

studied with at Oxford I don't feel like those  guys that I that I worked with at the bank

but i do feel like the kids growing up around  here because they're growing up how i grew up  

um but at the same time like i totally understand  

um as an adult i've been lucky to make money at  quite a young age and i don't have the struggles  

that some of my friends have of worrying about  like am I going to be able to provide the good

life for my kids, I don't have those worries so I understand that the money that I've made

in some ways separates me from the people I grew up with and the life I grew up with

but at the same time like that was my life that I grew up with you know I mean and  

that's the life that still my family lives  and the people I grew up with live so um

obviously if I wanted to I could have stayed  in the city and I could have made more and  

more and more money um but the kids now  who are like what I was when I was a kid  

they would struggle you know like I struggled  and look if I didn't get a few lucky breaks it  

wouldn't have worked out for me, I won my job in  a card game you know what I mean, you know I got 

in a lot of trouble back in school and if things went  the wrong way i could have got a criminal record  

and i wouldn't have been able to get in those jobs   um like i got the lucky breaks that enabled me to  

make it, the truth is nowadays the vast majority  of kids from my background don't have a chance  

um so I know how hard it is to come  from a poor background than most  

for me what was so important is i had a  chance to make it and i did have a chance  

but increasingly kids don't have a chance  and I worry what my life would have been  

like if I didn't get that chance and what it's  gonna be like for the kids growing up now  

and um the fact is if we don't fix things, it's not  really about the rich versus the poor it's about  

like the 1% versus the rest of us, because  increasingly more and more and more families  

won't have property um and will become poor you know more and more people and um  

I don't want to live in a world where i have to choose between being normal and being poor  

you know what i mean or like or where you have a choice of either being normal  

or having security, the only way to have security  is to not be normal you know what I mean?

I want to live in a world where lots of people have the chance to live a good life you know  

and it's not a choice between living, the only  way to live a good life is to separate yourself  

from the rest of the people you know what I mean  that's something that I feel deeply like you know  

I can work in the City if I want and I can study  in Oxford if I want but I can only do that by  

living a life surrounded by people who are not normal and who have not lived normal lives  

you know what I mean and I don't want that I want  to be able to be with normal people but also have  

opportunities to make money I don't want to  have to choose between stability and having  

to separate myself from the rest of the world   & the people I grew up with so, so yeah I mean  

it's not as simple as us and them like it's not like it's not like a battle it's a question of like  

do we build a society that works for most people  or one that only works for like a tiny minority  

and then most people have to live a difficult  life and yeah and I know I want and um

hopefully the people watching are gonna want the same thing yeah

and they're gonna like and subscribe innit!

but poorer families will be forced to lose almost all their assets including their home

we have a tax system which is very efficient at taxing ordinary working people  

but very inefficient at taxing the super rich
