Those who live with people who struggle are impacted - with the social and eventually political results of more people living on or below the poverty line. "Poor people" are no better or worse than those with money. The issue is whether the small percentage of those controlling the money in any given country should be allowed to control the amount that they do - be it though corporate control or inherited wealth. I am not sure they should. There has to be a better way of wealth distribution - not necessarily communism (we all know that that system is just as corrupt). I don't have the answer, to be honest. It just riles me no end when people who have never been poor think they know what the scoop is. And no I am not talking about the spongers in society, because they can always find a way at someone else's expense. Ok rant over. Back to my yummy Easter egg. 
And then there's always the mediator speaking sense and it aint me. (Or is that isn't me!)
It is not about money, the amounts of money and who owns or who does not own. It was a general thought process - and to me its about if the UK is so wealthy world scale why is the standard of living reportedly so low?

S/he has consistently refused to name his skill, so I now doubt there is one. Hopefully CIC will agree.

I am still awaiting approval, but it was a positive step.

Additional postings by you have served to support my initial judgement. However, these postings have also suggested that you may be in need of professional help. I believe that to have engaged in correspondence would have been both unfair to you and irresponsible to this forum.
If you have family then they have my sincerest sympathy
