That money injected into the economy in projects that benefit everyone, rather than squirreled away in a Cayman's bank, or spent on helicopters and yachts. The thing is the very rich will also benefit from this, because more industry, and more jobs means more consumers (and increased tax receipts) to buy products from businesses owned by the very rich.
Unlike Tory austerity, no rich people will suffer in this. Not a single one of them will be forced to move away from their family, or choose between heating their home and feeding their children. The economy works best when it works for everyone, rather than just the top five percent.
Oh my god, you seriously believe a billionaire is going to let a government make them pay more tax.
They are so rich they pay people to avoid it.
Just like Lewis Hamilton, they move abroad and pay nothing.
Like Lord Sugar, they will just move abroad.
The debt will be left to us down trodden workers to pay off.
Just like the bankers **** up was left to us.
