Dicko, what world do you live in?
I don't believe that anyone would aspire to have a society where no one can earn more than 50% more than someone on the dole. I do, however, aspire not to live in a society where the fat cats can earn several thousand times this level.
The main reason that the median income has risen is that the income of bankers and chief executives have risen to astronomical levels in this time of austerity while that of those lower down the pecking order has reduced in relative terms. If this is you idea of a healthy society, heaven help you.
And, if child poverty is at its lowest level for years, why do I keep seeing reports that the number of childeren living in poiverty has increased and is likely to continue increasing with the proposed reduction in benefit levels.
As usual you don't let facts get in the way of your delusions.
