As a male I entirely agree. It also amazes me at the snobbery against people who are rich or better off than they are is very alive and apparent even today.

Is it snobbery?

 

The world is awash with problems that money could solve at a stroke,

and yet some people have so much of it they have to waste it on stuff like this.

 

Let's encourage them to spend it on things that matter and could make a massive difference.

Yes and also bordering on jealousy.

Money does not solve problems just look at Live aid for instance and how much money that generated. Why did that happen and more importantly did it make much of a difference?

But it is their money and as such it's up to them to decide what they spend it on.

No, it's not up to us to decide on what people spend their own money on.

No but taxing people with more money than sense is the best and fairest way to redistribute money, which can then be used by governments to do what's necessary. It's called the trickle down effect, and it's gone sadly awry over the last 20 years as the Corporate world has got away with murder.

Only according to those who don't like rich people or for people to have more money than them.

And we have seen recently what government have done with money and that is either waste it or syphon it off into their own pockets.

You really don't understand it. The corporate world only exists because of supply and demand and the willingness of people to want stuff. We have lots of people knocking the way it is and the greed as they see it but the are also the ones who allow it to flourish. Bill Gates (Microsoft), Steve Jobs (Apple), Jeff Bezos (Amazon), Elon Musk (PayPal) are amongst the richest people on earth for a reason and that's simply because people wanted what they had to offer. 

 

Obscene as it may be to you all I will say as a relatively poor person is good on them!
