Now, if you do not get that wealth back,
you<00:00:20.640> have<00:00:20.800> no<00:00:20.960> choice<00:00:21.199> but<00:00:21.359> to<00:00:21.520> shut<00:00:21.680> the
you have no choice but to shut the
welfare<00:00:22.080> state<00:00:22.320> down.<00:00:22.720> Which<00:00:22.800> is<00:00:22.960> why<00:00:23.119> I<00:00:23.279> was
election. I was screaming at Labour
Party<00:00:27.039> because<00:00:27.119> we<00:00:27.279> knew<00:00:27.439> they<00:00:27.599> were<00:00:27.680> coming
Party because we knew they were coming
in.<00:00:28.320> listen,<00:00:28.960> you<00:00:29.119> need<00:00:29.199> to<00:00:29.359> do<00:00:29.519> something

about<00:00:30.080> taxation.<00:00:30.640> You<00:00:30.800> need<00:00:30.880> to<00:00:30.960> do<00:00:31.119> something
about taxation. You need to do something
about<00:00:31.519> wealth.<00:00:32.079> They<00:00:32.320> were<00:00:32.399> naive<00:00:32.719> to<00:00:32.880> that.
The rich are super rich. They are
unwilling<00:00:38.160> to<00:00:38.320> tax<00:00:38.559> them.<00:00:38.800> And<00:00:38.960> now<00:00:39.120> they're
unwilling to tax them. And now they're
left<00:00:39.520> with<00:00:39.760> basically<00:00:40.160> no<00:00:40.399> choice<00:00:40.640> but<00:00:40.800> to
