The difference is, the Conservatives realise that you need money to achieve things, and that forcing equality of wealth simply makes the country poorer, so we all suffer. It's better to have a wealth gap and those people at the bottom be better off, than it is for everybody just to be poor, but equally poor.

Spoken like a 'True Tory' - devil take the hindmost springs to mind. Why did we not have a minimum wage until Labour were elected in 1997?
Personally I find it abhorrent that anyone can be earning over £125K. There would still be a wealth gap, but amuch fairer one.
Can you tell me why Directors and Chief execs of companies always take the plaudits when company are doing well (and very rarely give their employees any credit for working hard and acheiving the success) but blame the work force when things go wrong - it is never their fault, despite them being quite prepared to profit because of the 'sweat' of the workers.
