billionaires have been created those on
the<00:00:10.400> sunday<00:00:10.800> times<00:00:11.200> rich<00:00:11.440> list<00:00:11.679> saw<00:00:11.840> their
during the crisis and this acceleration
is<00:00:17.760> the<00:00:17.840> greatest<00:00:18.240> we've<00:00:18.480> seen<00:00:18.720> over<00:00:18.960> the<00:00:19.039> last
former city trader
also<00:00:24.720> you<00:00:24.800> know<00:00:24.960> a<00:00:24.960> bit<00:00:25.199> about<00:00:25.439> money<00:00:25.760> gary
yeah well it's a phenomenal statistic
isn't<00:00:32.239> it<00:00:32.399> as<00:00:32.559> you<00:00:32.719> say<00:00:32.880> there's<00:00:33.040> been<00:00:33.200> about
isn't it as you say there's been about
an<00:00:33.440> increase<00:00:33.760> of<00:00:33.840> a<00:00:33.920> fit<00:00:34.160> per<00:00:34.399> person<00:00:34.719> which<00:00:34.880> is
predictable at the beginning of the
pandemic<00:00:40.879> and<00:00:41.040> if<00:00:41.120> you<00:00:41.200> look<00:00:41.280> at<00:00:41.360> my<00:00:41.520> articles
pandemic and if you look at my articles
online<00:00:42.239> i<00:00:42.399> actually<00:00:42.640> said<00:00:42.800> this<00:00:42.960> would<00:00:43.120> happen
about a year ago
the<00:00:44.480> reason<00:00:44.800> is<00:00:44.879> because<00:00:45.360> in<00:00:45.440> the<00:00:45.600> past<00:00:46.000> when
the reason is because in the past when
there<00:00:46.320> were<00:00:46.559> big<00:00:46.719> crises<00:00:47.280> like<00:00:47.600> the<00:00:47.760> wars
there were big crises like the wars
the<00:00:48.640> government<00:00:49.039> might<00:00:49.200> try<00:00:49.440> and<00:00:49.840> tax<00:00:50.160> the
rich to deal with those problems
but<00:00:51.920> in<00:00:52.079> this<00:00:52.239> crisis<00:00:52.719> the<00:00:52.800> government<00:00:52.960> has
government printed that money
and<00:00:58.719> that<00:00:58.879> money<00:00:59.120> has<00:00:59.280> largely<00:00:59.520> ended<00:00:59.760> up<00:00:59.840> with
richer people those people have saved
that<00:01:02.079> money<00:01:02.399> that's<00:01:02.640> pushed<00:01:02.879> up<00:01:03.039> stock<00:01:03.199> prices
who own stocks who owns assets well it's
the<00:01:07.760> rich<00:01:08.000> and<00:01:08.080> the<00:01:08.159> people<00:01:08.320> who<00:01:08.479> won<00:01:08.560> the<00:01:08.640> most
the rich and the people who won the most
are<00:01:08.960> the<00:01:09.040> same<00:01:09.200> price<00:01:09.520> so<00:01:09.680> what<00:01:09.840> that<00:01:10.000> has
whilst millions of people have lost
their<00:01:12.240> jobs<00:01:12.560> and<00:01:12.640> their<00:01:12.880> incomes<00:01:13.520> we've<00:01:13.680> seen
their jobs and their incomes we've seen
an<00:01:14.159> explosion<00:01:14.880> in<00:01:14.960> the<00:01:15.040> wealth<00:01:15.360> of<00:01:15.439> the
richest people in the country
you<00:01:17.920> make<00:01:18.159> it<00:01:18.240> sound<00:01:18.479> so<00:01:18.799> simple<00:01:19.119> gary<00:01:19.360> but<00:01:19.520> i
you make it sound so simple gary but i
get<00:01:19.840> it<00:01:20.560> in<00:01:20.720> terms<00:01:21.119> of<00:01:21.280> government<00:01:21.680> money<00:01:22.080> has
up in the rich
yeah<00:01:28.560> i<00:01:28.560> mean<00:01:29.040> what<00:01:29.200> it<00:01:29.280> basically<00:01:29.759> is<00:01:29.920> is<00:01:30.079> the
ordinary people and poor people
most<00:01:36.560> of<00:01:36.640> their<00:01:36.799> spending<00:01:37.040> is<00:01:37.119> on<00:01:37.280> essentials
spending are obviously the richest but
that<00:01:45.759> has<00:01:45.920> meant<00:01:46.079> that<00:01:46.240> the<00:01:46.399> people<00:01:46.560> who<00:01:46.640> have
and obviously as we can see richer
people<00:01:52.399> when<00:01:52.560> they<00:01:52.720> make<00:01:52.880> money<00:01:53.920> they<00:01:54.079> get
another statistic from the survey
um<00:01:59.759> is<00:01:59.920> that<00:02:00.159> it's<00:02:00.320> actually<00:02:00.640> quite<00:02:00.799> a<00:02:00.960> small
the richer the pre-existing rich
actually<00:02:06.079> have<00:02:06.320> got<00:02:06.560> richer<00:02:07.360> it's<00:02:07.520> not<00:02:07.680> that
actually have got richer it's not that
we're<00:02:08.000> adding<00:02:08.319> huge<00:02:08.640> numbers<00:02:09.039> of<00:02:09.119> people<00:02:09.440> but
right this is not doctors and lawyers
people<00:02:24.080> who<00:02:24.319> work<00:02:24.560> hard<00:02:24.800> and<00:02:24.879> study<00:02:25.120> hard<00:02:25.280> to
people who work hard and study hard to
make<00:02:25.520> this<00:02:25.680> money<00:02:25.920> often<00:02:26.160> these<00:02:26.319> are<00:02:26.400> people
often it's massive business heirs and
the<00:02:30.239> thing<00:02:30.400> which<00:02:30.560> i<00:02:30.640> want<00:02:30.800> people<00:02:30.959> to<00:02:31.040> really
the thing which i want people to really
understand<00:02:31.599> is<00:02:31.760> this<00:02:31.920> is<00:02:32.000> not<00:02:32.160> just<00:02:32.400> abstract
that makes housing less affordable for
ordinary<00:02:39.760> people<00:02:40.000> and<00:02:40.160> i've<00:02:40.400> put<00:02:40.560> up<00:02:40.720> a<00:02:40.800> video
ordinary people and i've put up a video
if<00:02:41.120> you<00:02:41.200> want<00:02:41.360> to<00:02:41.440> understand<00:02:41.760> how<00:02:41.920> this
affects ordinary people on my youtube
called<00:02:43.680> what<00:02:43.840> is<00:02:44.000> wealth<00:02:44.239> and<00:02:44.319> you<00:02:44.400> can<00:02:44.480> see
that on my youtube channel economics
okay<00:02:47.280> and<00:02:47.519> is<00:02:47.599> that<00:02:47.840> do<00:02:47.920> you<00:02:48.000> think<00:02:48.239> a<00:02:48.400> problem
the vast majority of us whatever
uh<00:02:54.640> financial<00:02:55.120> strata<00:02:55.599> we<00:02:55.760> might<00:02:55.920> be<00:02:56.160> on<00:02:57.040> yeah
uh financial strata we might be on yeah
you<00:02:57.360> know<00:02:57.519> look<00:02:57.760> i've<00:02:57.920> been<00:02:58.080> following<00:02:58.400> this
you know look i've been following this
for<00:02:58.879> years<00:02:59.120> and<00:02:59.200> years<00:02:59.440> and<00:02:59.519> years<00:02:59.840> i<00:02:59.920> used<00:03:00.000> to
for years and years and years i used to
work<00:03:00.319> in<00:03:00.400> the<00:03:00.480> city<00:03:00.800> my<00:03:00.959> job<00:03:01.120> was<00:03:01.280> to<00:03:01.360> predict
will the economy be strong
according<00:03:03.680> to<00:03:03.840> me<00:03:04.239> if<00:03:04.400> we<00:03:04.560> let<00:03:04.879> the<00:03:05.040> rich
that hurts ordering families especially
younger<00:03:19.360> people<00:03:20.080> so<00:03:20.319> if<00:03:20.480> we<00:03:20.640> don't<00:03:20.800> fix<00:03:21.040> this
younger people so if we don't fix this
problem<00:03:21.599> of<00:03:21.760> huge<00:03:22.000> amounts<00:03:22.319> of<00:03:22.400> money<00:03:22.640> flowing
purely to the riches and not to the rest
we're<00:03:25.680> not<00:03:25.760> going<00:03:25.920> to<00:03:25.920> see<00:03:26.080> an<00:03:26.159> economic
that sounds like an argument for some
kind<00:03:29.360> of<00:03:29.440> super<00:03:29.840> tax<00:03:30.319> would<00:03:30.480> you<00:03:30.640> be<00:03:30.799> for<00:03:30.959> that
talk about taxing the riches
the<00:03:37.599> big<00:03:37.840> problem<00:03:38.159> is<00:03:38.480> the<00:03:38.640> rich<00:03:38.879> have<00:03:39.040> got<00:03:39.440> the
the big problem is the rich have got the
best<00:03:39.840> accountants<00:03:40.400> and<00:03:40.480> they<00:03:40.640> will<00:03:40.799> try<00:03:40.959> and
yeah so any tax that we bring in has to
be<00:03:44.080> really<00:03:44.319> carefully<00:03:44.720> designed<00:03:45.120> so<00:03:45.280> that<00:03:45.360> it
be really carefully designed so that it
hits<00:03:45.680> the<00:03:45.840> super<00:03:46.080> rich<00:03:46.319> and<00:03:46.400> not<00:03:46.560> just
ordinary working people
but<00:03:48.159> personally<00:03:48.720> i<00:03:48.799> think<00:03:48.959> if<00:03:49.120> we<00:03:49.280> don't<00:03:49.519> do
but personally i think if we don't do
that<00:03:50.159> we're<00:03:50.400> in<00:03:50.480> for<00:03:50.640> another<00:03:50.879> 10<00:03:51.040> years<00:03:51.280> of
and i'm not saying that i've been
betting<00:03:54.080> on<00:03:54.159> this<00:03:54.319> because<00:03:54.560> it's<00:03:54.640> a<00:03:54.720> 2008
and i've been right for 10 years i've
been<00:03:57.040> making<00:03:57.280> millions<00:03:57.599> of<00:03:57.680> pounds<00:03:57.840> of<00:03:57.920> doing
been making millions of pounds of doing
it<00:03:58.480> if<00:03:58.640> we<00:03:58.879> don't<00:03:59.040> find<00:03:59.200> a<00:03:59.200> way<00:03:59.360> to<00:03:59.360> tax<00:03:59.599> the
it's going to be disaster for the rest
of<00:04:02.000> us<00:04:02.959> gary<00:04:03.280> good<00:04:03.439> to<00:04:03.599> talk<00:04:03.760> to<00:04:03.840> you<00:04:04.000> thank<00:04:04.159> you
