For Those Who Moan About Footballers Wages

[Markymark]

But there's F A return on an England performance for the FA!

Ask the owners of pubs, supermarkets, merchandisers, advertisers and they will say otherwise.

I meant that they don't win much...

FA and F A.

But how much will trickle down to non large coorporstions after the poorer have paid rent and food?wealthy often spend large amounts of cash.

I think you need to think a little more carefully.

If you're poor - really poor - you pay your rent either to the local council (who will tend to spend it locally on local builders and local services) or to a dodgy bastard landlord (who will spend not enough of it on building repairs and the rest of it on a mortgage, from where it will get recycled into loans to small businesses). And you buy your food from your local shop or the local market if you can get into town, because you don't have a car to get to the out-of-town supermarket, where the food might be cheaper but in any case they're extremely practised at getting you to spend more than you wanted to.

The reason the wealthy are wealthy is precisely because they don't spend much.

[Like I said, there's plenty of evidence out there, and it's been discussed endlessly on a different sub-board.]

Far too many people with high incomes view taxes as a problem for the little people (I'm looking at you, Mr Trump).

I thought Trump has promised to cut taxes for the low paid and middle income families.

As for the high wages of footballers its the fans who who get screwed. I don't like football so more fool them.

How well would he do with a chain of shops in Sub-Saharan Africa?

Probably quite well. I don't know why people think nobody down here is a entrepreneur or has any nouse.

Aliko Dangote the Nigerian billionare has a net worth of $117billion with a wide array of business interests across several countries.

You are absolutely correct, but pretty sure he also promised the moon was made of cheese....his wonderful best friend, Buzz, told him so

I've seen Taylor Swift live, took our kid. She actually put on a fairly decent show. I now consider her a close personal friend.

 

[mr messy]

How would he know?

From these guys

 

[mr messy]

Ah... but then he found out it was made of Swiss cheese and he doesn't like foreign stuff...

...unless he misshears, Swiss roll, that would be great as his grandfather loved that!

 

[mr_cellophane]

People get paid what they are worth to the people paying them, nobody else.

Does that hold true for MPs and Philip Green ?

 

[John the Monkey]

[Just a hint - this is a subject which isn't exactly unknown in SC&P. The arguments have been rehearsed quite a lot.]

Has it come to café for a holiday?

 

[Mugshot]

Yeah, but is she happy?

 

[Inertia]

Ah... but then he found out it was made of Swiss cheese and he doesn't like foreign stuff...

Just wait, next week he will love the stuff
