Economic Policy / Wealth Concentration
Pending
The ongoing transfer of real resources to the super-rich will lead to reduced consumption for the middle and working classes, and a decline in government services.
"At the moment, real resources are being aggressively transferred away from the middle class and the working class and the government towards the super rich. That will lead to a loss in the consumption of the middle class, of the working class, and of government services."

Pending
Individuals who fail to protect their share of resource distribution will see their share decrease over time, while the wealthiest individuals (with high passive income) will see their share increase.
"If you do not focus on protecting your share of the distribution, I guarantee you the people who have passive income of1 million2 million pound a week will increase their share over time. Your share will decrease."
