Hi agree completely with you, but I would point out that there are on that list some people whose overall wealth is not just from their jobs, but comes from inherited family wealth.

Reading the news each day about the welfare cuts is making weep.

Most of them are worth far more than you have stated here, they also own a lot of land and property, then there is the wives, many of them are millionaires. Plus the kick backs they get from multi million pound contracts awarded to friends of a friend and privatised utilities where many of them are paid as consultants and advisers, it all counts as income.

I agree with everything you have said, also don't forget that most of these people have got rich parents, grandparents etc , many have inherited property and money and have never had to go without anythingor have to buy the cheapest of everything or chose between paying the bills to keep a roof over their heads or to buy food. Do they enjoy taking vunerable peoples money away from them - well it seems so..............

I have a very small alteration to my original post, I actually cut & pasted it from another web page. I should have altered the word "worth". As three people have pointed out they probably have far more money, but none of them are worth it!
