After two o'clock, 129 00:05:27,733 --> 00:05:30,973 Speaker 3: a great story about criminal records and how that can 130 00:05:31,013 --> 00:05:33,613 Speaker 3: shadow many people for life in this country. So it 131 00:05:33,653 --> 00:05:36,093 Speaker 3: was a story of a gentleman called Richard, didn't use 132 00:05:36,133 --> 00:05:39,173 Speaker 3: his last name, but he landed himself quite a great 133 00:05:39,213 --> 00:05:42,533 Speaker 3: position as a sales representative. This was in October this year, 134 00:05:43,013 --> 00:05:45,413 Speaker 3: as an employment contract was signed. It was all looking good. 135 00:05:45,453 --> 00:05:47,333 Speaker 3: He was making friends with the colleagues. He got a 136 00:05:47,413 --> 00:05:49,213 Speaker 3: Yuke to drive home, but the next day called into 137 00:05:49,253 --> 00:05:52,493 Speaker 3: a meeting, stood down immediately and sent home in a taxi. 138 00:05:52,493 --> 00:05:55,213 Speaker 3: And the reason for that is his voluntary criminal record 139 00:05:55,293 --> 00:05:58,413 Speaker 3: check and only just landed in the manager's inbox, and 140 00:05:58,493 --> 00:06:02,053 Speaker 3: despite decades having passed since he broke the law, he 141 00:06:02,373 --> 00:06:04,653 Speaker 3: was let go. So it'd actually done prison time thirty 142 00:06:04,733 --> 00:06:07,133 Speaker 3: years ago. But as he said, I paid for my 143 00:06:07,173 --> 00:06:10,093 Speaker 3: crimes over thirty years ago, but this week I paid again. 144 00:06:10,293 --> 00:06:13,453 Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm with him thirty years Come on, you know, 145 00:06:14,133 --> 00:06:17,973 Speaker 2: clean slate up to three decades since you did the crime. 146 00:06:18,013 --> 00:06:20,333 Speaker 2: You're a totally different human being, you know.

Right, 177 00:07:38,933 --> 00:07:40,613 Speaker 3: let's get into this one because we've already had a 178 00:07:40,613 --> 00:07:42,613 Speaker 3: whole bunch of texts about it. But there's been a 179 00:07:42,613 --> 00:07:45,253 Speaker 3: whole bunch of pushback against billionaires, certainly over the last 180 00:07:45,293 --> 00:07:47,893 Speaker 3: couple of years, but it's ramped up in recent months. 181 00:07:48,093 --> 00:07:51,093 Speaker 3: The newly elected New York mayor Zoran men Dami, he 182 00:07:51,133 --> 00:07:52,853 Speaker 3: said not long after his election, I don't think we 183 00:07:52,853 --> 00:07:58,493 Speaker 3: should have billionaires full stop. In Billie Eilish, very famous musician, singer, songwriter. Actually, 184 00:07:58,533 --> 00:08:00,333 Speaker 3: as you mentioned before, her brother writes the songs, but 185 00:08:00,493 --> 00:08:02,933 Speaker 3: very talented. She said at a function, I quote, I 186 00:08:02,933 --> 00:08:04,573 Speaker 3: love you all, but there's a few people in here 187 00:08:04,653 --> 00:08:06,493 Speaker 3: that have a lot of money, a lot more money 188 00:08:06,493 --> 00:08:09,173 Speaker 3: than me. If you're a billionaire, why are your billionaire? 189 00:08:09,293 --> 00:08:12,173 Speaker 3: No hate, but you give your money away, shorties was 190 00:08:12,213 --> 00:08:16,053 Speaker 3: the quote. Closer to home. The Green Party in Chloe 191 00:08:16,093 --> 00:08:19,613 Speaker 3: Swarbrough have obviously made no secret that they would desire 192 00:08:19,773 --> 00:08:23,133 Speaker 3: or love a wealth tech attacks and that billionaires, anyone 193 00:08:23,173 --> 00:08:27,053 Speaker 3: who reaches a billion dollars should be made to give 194 00:08:27,093 --> 00:08:28,813 Speaker 3: back a whole bunch of their money. So it's going 195 00:08:28,853 --> 00:08:29,413 Speaker 3: to be a good chat. 196 00:08:29,853 --> 00:08:32,173 Speaker 2: Yeah, it's an interesting one, isn't it, Because the assumption 197 00:08:32,293 --> 00:08:34,573 Speaker 2: is if someone else has got the money, then you 198 00:08:34,612 --> 00:08:38,013 Speaker 2: should have it instead of them. But those who hate 199 00:08:38,013 --> 00:08:42,333 Speaker 2: billionaires say, and you know, in a world of supposedly 200 00:08:42,333 --> 00:08:47,053 Speaker 2: finite resources, that the concentration of resources on one person 201 00:08:47,333 --> 00:08:51,973 Speaker 2: is unfair, particularly when some are poor. They think that 202 00:08:52,012 --> 00:08:56,013 Speaker 2: their billionaires have undue influence because of their wealth. And 203 00:08:56,453 --> 00:08:59,253 Speaker 2: you know, there's accusations that they don't follow the law 204 00:08:59,333 --> 00:09:03,852 Speaker 2: the same way as US US plebs have to. But 205 00:09:03,892 --> 00:09:06,573 Speaker 2: those who love them, you know, they point out that 206 00:09:06,612 --> 00:09:12,012 Speaker 2: they spare in headation job creation. You know, to be 207 00:09:12,053 --> 00:09:14,132 Speaker 2: a billionaire, you generally have to have a whole lot 208 00:09:14,173 --> 00:09:16,493 Speaker 2: of people that have also got wealthy on the way 209 00:09:16,492 --> 00:09:22,772 Speaker 2: through and businesses and and you know, life changing opportunities 210 00:09:22,773 --> 00:09:24,573 Speaker 2: for hundreds of thousands of people. 211 00:09:25,612 --> 00:09:25,813 Speaker 6: You know. 212 00:09:25,933 --> 00:09:28,612 Speaker 2: The other argument for them is they're shining light of ambition, 213 00:09:28,693 --> 00:09:32,612 Speaker 2: showing what humans can do, what the possibilities. And also 214 00:09:32,653 --> 00:09:34,853 Speaker 2: another thing that people like about billionaires, if they do 215 00:09:35,012 --> 00:09:38,012 Speaker 2: like them, is that they can allocate money towards things 216 00:09:38,132 --> 00:09:41,172 Speaker 2: very directly. Unlike governments that have to have policies and 217 00:09:41,213 --> 00:09:43,492 Speaker 2: discussions and all that kind of stuff. You know, they 218 00:09:43,492 --> 00:09:45,493 Speaker 2: can just throw money at a startup they like and 219 00:09:45,533 --> 00:09:49,052 Speaker 2: get things going. Sports teams, oh my goodness, I love 220 00:09:49,053 --> 00:09:49,653 Speaker 2: a sports team. 221 00:09:49,693 --> 00:09:50,133 Speaker 3: Billionaires. 222 00:09:50,252 --> 00:09:53,093 Speaker 2: Billionaires love a sports team. And what a billionaire can 223 00:09:53,093 --> 00:09:56,053 Speaker 2: do to a town by building a stadium and supporting 224 00:09:56,093 --> 00:09:57,573 Speaker 2: a sports team, and how it can bring a whole 225 00:09:57,573 --> 00:10:00,413 Speaker 2: community together, that is quite something, you know, and not 226 00:10:00,453 --> 00:10:03,453 Speaker 2: to mention there philanthropy, that they're billionaire is so. 227 00:10:03,453 --> 00:10:06,013 Speaker 3: But what do you reckon? Should there be billionaires one 228 00:10:06,093 --> 00:10:08,173 Speaker 3: hundred and eighty ten eighty come on through nine to nine? 229 00:10:08,333 --> 00:10:10,973 Speaker 3: Who is that text number? The phones are lighting up? 230 00:10:11,012 --> 00:10:12,813 Speaker 3: But love to hear your thoughts back in the moment 231 00:10:13,053 --> 00:10:14,813 Speaker 3: is sixteen past one. 232 00:10:14,933 --> 00:10:18,372 Speaker 2: And thank you for all your lovely support about my run. Okay, yeah, 233 00:10:18,453 --> 00:10:18,973 Speaker 2: all right. 234 00:10:19,012 --> 00:10:21,653 Speaker 3: If you want to send about a hate through as well, yeah. 235 00:10:21,492 --> 00:10:23,732 Speaker 2: Absolutely welcome. Yeah, I mean, and as you say, there 236 00:10:23,773 --> 00:10:25,333 Speaker 2: is a reasonable chance of a Paula Redcliff. 237 00:10:26,892 --> 00:10:30,093 Speaker 1: The big stories, the big issues, to the big trends 238 00:10:30,213 --> 00:10:33,932 Speaker 1: and everything in between. Matt Heath and Tyler Adams afternoons 239 00:10:34,213 --> 00:10:34,693 Speaker 1: used talks. 240 00:10:34,732 --> 00:10:40,053 Speaker 3: They'd be very good afternoon, Jet. It's nineteen past one, Matt. 241 00:10:40,053 --> 00:10:42,573 Speaker 2: What's a Paula red Cliff? Don't look it up? Okay. 242 00:10:43,573 --> 00:10:46,253 Speaker 3: Anyway, we're talking about billionaires. Yes, we are talking about billionaires. 243 00:10:46,252 --> 00:10:48,013 Speaker 3: There's been a lot of pushback about the idea of 244 00:10:48,053 --> 00:10:50,093 Speaker 3: billionaires in general. So the question we've asked you is 245 00:10:50,132 --> 00:10:53,453 Speaker 3: should they exist full stop? Or are they good for society? 246 00:10:53,492 --> 00:10:53,573 Speaker 7: Oh? 247 00:10:53,573 --> 00:10:56,693 Speaker 3: One hundred and eighty ten eighty is that number to call? Stan? 248 00:10:56,852 --> 00:10:58,012 Speaker 3: How are you. 249 00:10:57,612 --> 00:11:00,813 Speaker 2: Your thoughts on billionaires and the calls that they should 250 00:11:00,813 --> 00:11:01,652 Speaker 2: not exist? 251 00:11:03,612 --> 00:11:03,813 Speaker 4: Yeah? 252 00:11:03,892 --> 00:11:05,532 Speaker 8: Gooday, boys. 253 00:11:06,492 --> 00:11:09,213 Speaker 2: You okay, yep, we can hear you loud and clear. 254 00:11:09,252 --> 00:11:13,052 Speaker 8: Stand Okay, yeah, no, I just think it's quite the 255 00:11:13,132 --> 00:11:16,613 Speaker 8: critical of the left to sort of poke the boy 256 00:11:16,693 --> 00:11:21,893 Speaker 8: ax at billionaires. When billionaires fund some of the a 257 00:11:21,892 --> 00:11:25,933 Speaker 8: lot of their causes. I'm thinking of people like George Soros, 258 00:11:26,492 --> 00:11:31,573 Speaker 8: who funds a whole range of left wing enterprises political enterprises. 259 00:11:32,612 --> 00:11:37,573 Speaker 8: Also Neil Singham who's hiding away in China, who's a 260 00:11:37,573 --> 00:11:41,093 Speaker 8: big wall you'd call them a communist. I guess he 261 00:11:41,173 --> 00:11:45,573 Speaker 8: is a big funder of left wing political parties and enterprises. 262 00:11:46,012 --> 00:11:48,333 Speaker 8: So to turn around and say, oh, yeah, we've got 263 00:11:48,372 --> 00:11:50,372 Speaker 8: to get rid of these billionaires and they should give 264 00:11:50,372 --> 00:11:52,813 Speaker 8: all their money away, I think it's quite It's quite 265 00:11:52,892 --> 00:11:54,213 Speaker 8: ironic and quite laughable. 266 00:11:54,773 --> 00:11:57,213 Speaker 2: Yeah, it's interesting in the United States, isn't it? Because 267 00:11:57,573 --> 00:12:01,013 Speaker 2: the left over there they have their billionaires that they like, 268 00:12:01,093 --> 00:12:02,973 Speaker 2: and then they hustle the other side for billionaires. But 269 00:12:03,813 --> 00:12:07,892 Speaker 2: Karmala had more billionaires backing her than Trump. 270 00:12:07,933 --> 00:12:09,012 Speaker 5: Did you know? 271 00:12:09,093 --> 00:12:11,133 Speaker 2: Trump is a billionaire. But what do you think do 272 00:12:11,173 --> 00:12:12,653 Speaker 2: you think it's that you know, one of the other 273 00:12:12,693 --> 00:12:16,372 Speaker 2: complaints about billionaires, and you know, you're kind of pointing 274 00:12:16,372 --> 00:12:19,852 Speaker 2: it out, is that they have undue political influence due 275 00:12:19,892 --> 00:12:21,293 Speaker 2: to their resources. 276 00:12:22,813 --> 00:12:25,652 Speaker 8: Yeah, yeah, I mean that that cuts both left down 277 00:12:25,653 --> 00:12:29,612 Speaker 8: and right, you know, But I guess it's it's their 278 00:12:29,693 --> 00:12:33,853 Speaker 8: money they want to have. I just wish it would 279 00:12:33,892 --> 00:12:37,053 Speaker 8: be a bit more open and honest so we know 280 00:12:37,093 --> 00:12:40,813 Speaker 8: who's funding what. I sort of followed a bit on 281 00:12:40,852 --> 00:12:44,213 Speaker 8: the on the what in America, how people like Zius 282 00:12:44,293 --> 00:12:46,973 Speaker 8: they have all these cutouts and they fund this their 283 00:12:47,012 --> 00:12:50,973 Speaker 8: money through a number of NGOs and that two. I mean, 284 00:12:51,012 --> 00:12:52,973 Speaker 8: some of the things they are funding when you when 285 00:12:53,012 --> 00:12:56,053 Speaker 8: you track it all down, they're pretty not very nice. 286 00:12:56,293 --> 00:12:59,293 Speaker 8: I mean, he was a big funder of Black Lives Matter. 287 00:13:01,333 --> 00:13:04,813 Speaker 8: In fact, two of the founders who declared themselves Marxist 288 00:13:04,852 --> 00:13:09,253 Speaker 8: each have used to work for Open Society Foundation. I mean, 289 00:13:09,252 --> 00:13:12,052 Speaker 8: this is this is the kind of you know, this 290 00:13:12,333 --> 00:13:16,612 Speaker 8: kind of going on. Is that happened in America and 291 00:13:17,132 --> 00:13:20,293 Speaker 8: you know, possibly to a lesser extent here. 292 00:13:21,413 --> 00:13:24,173 Speaker 2: Do you think what about the argument that when there's 293 00:13:24,252 --> 00:13:27,612 Speaker 2: poor people, you know, people that are really really struggling, 294 00:13:27,732 --> 00:13:31,733 Speaker 2: that is somehow morally gross to have that much more 295 00:13:31,732 --> 00:13:34,053 Speaker 2: than you need, say, you know, once you've got one 296 00:13:34,093 --> 00:13:36,693 Speaker 2: hundred million dollars, two hundred million dollars, three d million dollars, whatever, 297 00:13:37,453 --> 00:13:41,653 Speaker 2: do you really need ten billion dollars? And not just 298 00:13:41,693 --> 00:13:43,693 Speaker 2: morally morally it's their money, but do you think that 299 00:13:43,732 --> 00:13:47,732 Speaker 2: there's a moral argument that that much wealth constrained on 300 00:13:47,732 --> 00:13:50,372 Speaker 2: one person is is wrong. 301 00:13:52,093 --> 00:13:54,333 Speaker 8: But I think a lot of these people don't have 302 00:13:54,372 --> 00:13:56,492 Speaker 8: a billion dollars. I mean, I doubt any of them 303 00:13:56,533 --> 00:13:58,053 Speaker 8: have a billion dollars sitting in cash. 304 00:13:57,892 --> 00:13:58,293 Speaker 4: In the bank. 305 00:13:58,653 --> 00:14:01,413 Speaker 8: Most of its assets, most of it's businesses that are 306 00:14:01,413 --> 00:14:07,893 Speaker 8: built out in shareholding in those businesses. So you know, yeah, 307 00:14:07,933 --> 00:14:11,172 Speaker 8: you could argue they could probably get more of it away. 308 00:14:11,852 --> 00:14:13,252 Speaker 3: And I think a lot of it a lot too, 309 00:14:13,453 --> 00:14:16,213 Speaker 3: don't they stand? But yeah, but just on that, is 310 00:14:16,213 --> 00:14:18,652 Speaker 3: it a fair argument that you know that old old 311 00:14:19,173 --> 00:14:21,213 Speaker 3: saying that you need money to make money, but I 312 00:14:21,213 --> 00:14:23,893 Speaker 3: think it is true. Once you reach a level of wealth, 313 00:14:24,533 --> 00:14:27,493 Speaker 3: then you have the ability to take advantage of a 314 00:14:27,533 --> 00:14:29,413 Speaker 3: system that is well set up for people with a 315 00:14:29,453 --> 00:14:32,093 Speaker 3: heck of a lot of money, arguably billionaires. Right, So, 316 00:14:32,213 --> 00:14:36,413 Speaker 3: share markets, acquiring new companies, all the other elements and 317 00:14:36,453 --> 00:14:40,133 Speaker 3: ways that they generate their wealth. Is that air a 318 00:14:40,173 --> 00:14:43,573 Speaker 3: fair criticism of that system? And perhaps that's why some 319 00:14:43,573 --> 00:14:46,053 Speaker 3: people at the lower end get aggrieved by it, because 320 00:14:46,053 --> 00:14:48,733 Speaker 3: they think the system and the deck is stacked against them. 321 00:14:49,653 --> 00:14:52,613 Speaker 8: Well, you take people like well Bill Gate, it's not 322 00:14:52,653 --> 00:14:54,773 Speaker 8: a favorite of mine, but he didn't start out with 323 00:14:55,013 --> 00:14:58,172 Speaker 8: a bundle looad of money. Most of these people, I 324 00:14:58,213 --> 00:15:00,253 Speaker 8: mean some of it's inherited, but a lot of these 325 00:15:00,293 --> 00:15:03,973 Speaker 8: are self made. 326 00:15:03,053 --> 00:15:06,693 Speaker 6: You know. And I think there's a lot of envy. 327 00:15:07,413 --> 00:15:11,893 Speaker 8: Quite honestly, a lot of people don't want to get 328 00:15:11,893 --> 00:15:14,412 Speaker 8: off their bum don't want to take chances, don't want 329 00:15:14,413 --> 00:15:17,453 Speaker 8: to risk anything, don't want to work hard, and then 330 00:15:17,493 --> 00:15:20,613 Speaker 8: they just want, oh, wealthy people should give me some money, 331 00:15:20,733 --> 00:15:25,053 Speaker 8: you know. Yeah, I mean, quite honestly, And I think 332 00:15:26,293 --> 00:15:29,773 Speaker 8: you know, if you if you don't have a reward 333 00:15:29,813 --> 00:15:32,253 Speaker 8: for your labors and a reward for your hard work 334 00:15:34,053 --> 00:15:37,333 Speaker 8: as you as you wouldn't have under under socialism, you know, 335 00:15:39,133 --> 00:15:41,533 Speaker 8: why would people be inventive?

We don't ask to be born, 428 00:19:37,893 --> 00:19:40,333 Speaker 11: so we come into this world and you know, there's 429 00:19:40,333 --> 00:19:42,973 Speaker 11: no guarantees for anything. And money has come out of 430 00:19:42,973 --> 00:19:45,973 Speaker 11: the ground for thousands a year or hundreds centuries centuries, 431 00:19:46,253 --> 00:19:48,573 Speaker 11: and that's where it's come from, mainly resources, gold and 432 00:19:48,613 --> 00:19:51,573 Speaker 11: things like that. And it's sort of like the economy 433 00:19:51,613 --> 00:19:53,812 Speaker 11: sort of like if you had a ream of paper 434 00:19:54,253 --> 00:19:56,693 Speaker 11: and you threw it down a staircase, some of that 435 00:19:56,733 --> 00:19:59,573 Speaker 11: paper is going to land in big clumps on some stairs, 436 00:20:00,333 --> 00:20:03,453 Speaker 11: and some of those bits of paper are going to 437 00:20:03,813 --> 00:20:06,813 Speaker 11: land in very small quantities on other steps. And some 438 00:20:06,813 --> 00:20:10,173 Speaker 11: people are lucky and with money and some aren't. It's 439 00:20:10,213 --> 00:20:14,253 Speaker 11: just the nature of life on earth, is how I 440 00:20:14,293 --> 00:20:18,773 Speaker 11: see it. And if just the roll of the dice 441 00:20:18,973 --> 00:20:23,173 Speaker 11: is no guarantees being born into this world. But the 442 00:20:23,213 --> 00:20:26,413 Speaker 11: thing is, if someone is lucky enough to accumulate huge 443 00:20:26,413 --> 00:20:27,813 Speaker 11: amounts of money, like I don't. 444 00:20:27,613 --> 00:20:30,533 Speaker 6: Know, the Google fluke or YouTube fluke. 445 00:20:31,333 --> 00:20:35,693 Speaker 11: Facebook fluke, well then that gives opportunities for the rest 446 00:20:35,693 --> 00:20:39,812 Speaker 11: of us to be innovative and come up with goods 447 00:20:39,853 --> 00:20:43,093 Speaker 11: and services that these billionaires are going to share some 448 00:20:43,133 --> 00:20:44,333 Speaker 11: of their money. They're not just going to give it 449 00:20:44,373 --> 00:20:47,093 Speaker 11: away willing early. That's ridiculous. But if you can come up, 450 00:20:47,133 --> 00:20:49,493 Speaker 11: say if you're an artist in a sculpture and you 451 00:20:49,573 --> 00:20:53,653 Speaker 11: sculptured art, So if you did a bronze sculpture of 452 00:20:53,733 --> 00:21:00,973 Speaker 11: Matt and Tyler sitting behind a talkback desk, yeah, and 453 00:21:01,013 --> 00:21:02,812 Speaker 11: you knocked on Bill Gates's door, and so you look 454 00:21:02,853 --> 00:21:04,853 Speaker 11: at this bronze sculpture, would you like a million dollars? 455 00:21:05,053 --> 00:21:06,293 Speaker 6: Would you like this for a million dollars? 456 00:21:06,293 --> 00:21:06,493 Speaker 2: Well? 457 00:21:06,773 --> 00:21:09,253 Speaker 11: Yeah, and this this love awesome. 458 00:21:08,933 --> 00:21:09,613 Speaker 6: And here you go. 459 00:21:10,853 --> 00:21:14,573 Speaker 11: And it's far better in my experience to earn the 460 00:21:14,613 --> 00:21:17,573 Speaker 11: money you get, no freebies and handouts, it's just dead 461 00:21:17,613 --> 00:21:20,053 Speaker 11: money that there's no satisfaction from that. 462 00:21:20,253 --> 00:21:23,293 Speaker 3: So yeah, I agree with a lot of what you're saying, Matt, 463 00:21:23,333 --> 00:21:27,173 Speaker 3: but I do because I think it's logical arguments around 464 00:21:27,213 --> 00:21:29,973 Speaker 3: people and capitalism. This is how we've got a head 465 00:21:29,973 --> 00:21:32,973 Speaker 3: of society, and people should be rewarded for the hard 466 00:21:33,013 --> 00:21:35,413 Speaker 3: work that they put into whatever whatever endeavor that they 467 00:21:35,453 --> 00:21:39,093 Speaker 3: go for. But the fact it remains that inequality is growing, 468 00:21:39,133 --> 00:21:41,533 Speaker 3: and we can argue about why that is, but then 469 00:21:41,573 --> 00:21:44,013 Speaker 3: that starts to lead to social unrest, and we can 470 00:21:44,093 --> 00:21:47,613 Speaker 3: argue about the merits of you know, people are putting 471 00:21:47,653 --> 00:21:49,773 Speaker 3: the hard work in to earn the money and the 472 00:21:49,813 --> 00:21:52,373 Speaker 3: wealth that they have, but you can't get around aside 473 00:21:52,413 --> 00:21:54,693 Speaker 3: the fact that social unrest is growing around the world 474 00:21:54,693 --> 00:21:57,373 Speaker 3: because of inequality, and that's a tough thing to try 475 00:21:57,413 --> 00:22:00,813 Speaker 3: and address right and where the targeting super wealthiest a 476 00:22:00,813 --> 00:22:02,933 Speaker 3: way to do that. I don't know if that's going 477 00:22:02,973 --> 00:22:05,853 Speaker 3: to be that successful, but that is a major concern 478 00:22:05,973 --> 00:22:09,213 Speaker 3: going forward that the more inequality grows, then the more 479 00:22:09,293 --> 00:22:12,093 Speaker 3: you have populist populist leaders coming to the fore you 480 00:22:12,133 --> 00:22:14,853 Speaker 3: have social unrest around around the world and that is, 481 00:22:14,853 --> 00:22:17,413 Speaker 3: it should be of a concern to everybody, including billionaires. 482 00:22:18,573 --> 00:22:21,613 Speaker 11: Can I say something course, yeah please, yeah, okay, okay, 483 00:22:21,733 --> 00:22:25,133 Speaker 11: this is extremely cynical. But if the government all of 484 00:22:25,173 --> 00:22:27,813 Speaker 11: a sudden decided and said, right, all the money in 485 00:22:27,813 --> 00:22:30,053 Speaker 11: New Zealand, we're going to take it all and divide it. 486 00:22:30,333 --> 00:22:32,693 Speaker 11: Every single citizen is going to get one million dollars, 487 00:22:33,493 --> 00:22:36,253 Speaker 11: then no one would turn up for work. That will 488 00:22:36,253 --> 00:22:38,093 Speaker 11: be down at the beach. There will be on their 489 00:22:38,093 --> 00:22:41,773 Speaker 11: boats fishing and things. So unfortunately, that's just the nature 490 00:22:41,813 --> 00:22:44,133 Speaker 11: of how the economy works, I'm sorry to say in 491 00:22:44,173 --> 00:22:44,773 Speaker 11: my opinion. 492 00:22:45,853 --> 00:22:48,293 Speaker 3: Yeah, no, fair enough to Mike.

You know, should 504 00:23:24,213 --> 00:23:28,093 Speaker 2: you not be rewarded for changing the world. There's kind 505 00:23:28,133 --> 00:23:29,973 Speaker 2: of a view that we all should be on the 506 00:23:29,973 --> 00:23:34,253 Speaker 2: same level. It sort of comes back to that, you know, 507 00:23:34,333 --> 00:23:37,133 Speaker 2: what is it comparison is the thief of joy? So, 508 00:23:37,973 --> 00:23:39,613 Speaker 2: you know, should we all just be able to look 509 00:23:39,613 --> 00:23:42,293 Speaker 2: at each other and go, this person's the same because 510 00:23:42,573 --> 00:23:45,693 Speaker 2: because actually it's kind of hypocritical in New Zealand, because 511 00:23:46,133 --> 00:23:49,013 Speaker 2: for most of us looking at you, Tyler, you know, 512 00:23:49,053 --> 00:23:51,173 Speaker 2: someone could hassle a billionaire. You could sit there, haressling 513 00:23:51,173 --> 00:23:54,133 Speaker 2: a billionaire. But there's so many millions and millions and 514 00:23:54,133 --> 00:23:55,653 Speaker 2: millions of people in the world that would look at 515 00:23:55,693 --> 00:23:57,413 Speaker 2: your life and say that you've got too much and 516 00:23:57,453 --> 00:24:00,893 Speaker 2: you're too very true effluent, and there may be you 517 00:24:00,973 --> 00:24:04,733 Speaker 2: may be closer to a billionaire then a lot of 518 00:24:04,773 --> 00:24:06,613 Speaker 2: the poor people in this world are to you. 519 00:24:06,853 --> 00:24:09,053 Speaker 3: I'm a one percentage A lot of peop will, no 520 00:24:09,093 --> 00:24:11,573 Speaker 3: doubt about it. But you're right. Fortune favors the brave, 521 00:24:11,653 --> 00:24:13,493 Speaker 3: and people laughed at Elon Musk when he said he 522 00:24:13,533 --> 00:24:15,133 Speaker 3: was what he was going to do, and Bezos and 523 00:24:15,133 --> 00:24:17,453 Speaker 3: everybody else.

Yeah, I mean, 557 00:26:06,733 --> 00:26:08,093 Speaker 2: some people have mis heard what I was saying. I'm 558 00:26:08,093 --> 00:26:11,693 Speaker 2: not saying there's no innovation in China, but it does 559 00:26:11,733 --> 00:26:15,493 Speaker 2: have an innovation problem. You know, I've been reading quite 560 00:26:15,493 --> 00:26:18,853 Speaker 2: a lot about it recently, and that you know anything 561 00:26:18,893 --> 00:26:21,173 Speaker 2: when you're controlled by the government. But I mean, let's 562 00:26:21,213 --> 00:26:23,093 Speaker 2: just say, if you become a billionaire in China, and 563 00:26:23,093 --> 00:26:26,053 Speaker 2: there have been famous situations where billionaires have just suddenly 564 00:26:26,093 --> 00:26:29,013 Speaker 2: had everything taken off them or have been disappeared for 565 00:26:29,013 --> 00:26:29,373 Speaker 2: a while. 566 00:26:29,493 --> 00:26:29,733 Speaker 1: Yep. 567 00:26:30,173 --> 00:26:31,973 Speaker 2: But also you'd be a billionaire in China and then 568 00:26:32,013 --> 00:26:34,693 Speaker 2: you call jijinping pooh beer and see how you go? 569 00:26:34,853 --> 00:26:37,053 Speaker 3: Yeah, well, they're famous case of Jack Maher and I 570 00:26:37,093 --> 00:26:39,373 Speaker 3: know he's not the only one, but the billionaire founder 571 00:26:39,453 --> 00:26:42,333 Speaker 3: of Ali Barber went missing for a long time because 572 00:26:42,333 --> 00:26:44,253 Speaker 3: he dared too And I don't even think the criticism 573 00:26:44,333 --> 00:26:46,893 Speaker 3: was that much of China, but they effectively made him 574 00:26:46,893 --> 00:26:49,613 Speaker 3: disappear and said we own you and you don't forget that. 575 00:26:49,773 --> 00:26:52,333 Speaker 3: And then he popped back up and said, I love 576 00:26:52,373 --> 00:26:53,573 Speaker 3: this country and I love Jugen. 577 00:26:54,253 --> 00:26:55,813 Speaker 2: Well, yeah, I mean all these people that are texting 578 00:26:55,813 --> 00:26:58,213 Speaker 2: in and hastling me for having a go at China 579 00:26:58,253 --> 00:27:01,173 Speaker 2: and the freedoms in there.

No, it's always you, Carlos. Yeah, anyway, 595 00:27:38,893 --> 00:27:40,373 Speaker 2: don't get it. Don't get us started. 596 00:27:43,813 --> 00:27:47,133 Speaker 14: A couple of points I just wanted to make. I 597 00:27:47,173 --> 00:27:51,573 Speaker 14: think that the the the little angst against billion is 598 00:27:52,613 --> 00:27:55,173 Speaker 14: gems from two things. So one is the view that well, 599 00:27:57,133 --> 00:27:59,613 Speaker 14: we need to continually think of new ways to divide 600 00:27:59,613 --> 00:28:03,773 Speaker 14: it up, when in fact that it's infinite. And the 601 00:28:03,813 --> 00:28:08,173 Speaker 14: second thing is this view of what capitalism used to 602 00:28:08,213 --> 00:28:11,133 Speaker 14: be versus what it is today. So what I mean 603 00:28:11,133 --> 00:28:14,213 Speaker 14: by that is, you know, if you look back in time, 604 00:28:16,293 --> 00:28:18,573 Speaker 14: sort of billionaires used to be people that own railways 605 00:28:18,653 --> 00:28:22,213 Speaker 14: or oil fields or telephone companies, sort of things that 606 00:28:22,493 --> 00:28:28,493 Speaker 14: it was very difficult to survive without, whereas today most billionaires, 607 00:28:28,613 --> 00:28:31,013 Speaker 14: and if you look at the Magnificent seven as they're 608 00:28:31,013 --> 00:28:34,613 Speaker 14: called on the Stock Exchange, Alphabet, Amazon, Apple, Meta, Microsoft 609 00:28:34,693 --> 00:28:38,013 Speaker 14: and Video and Tesla, they don't really own anything except IP. 610 00:28:38,653 --> 00:28:43,453 Speaker 14: So that well is primarily generated from the intellectual property 611 00:28:43,493 --> 00:28:46,293 Speaker 14: that they create. I mean, I noticed the makes cards, 612 00:28:46,333 --> 00:28:48,653 Speaker 14: but even people say then that it's actually a giant 613 00:28:48,893 --> 00:28:54,213 Speaker 14: data research project, not not actually a vehicle company. So 614 00:28:54,373 --> 00:28:58,013 Speaker 14: that's the kind of thinking that goes into oh that 615 00:28:58,013 --> 00:29:01,813 Speaker 14: there shouldn't be billionaires. It's like and even said in 616 00:29:01,853 --> 00:29:04,573 Speaker 14: your intro, you know it, has the world got enough resources? 617 00:29:04,613 --> 00:29:05,013 Speaker 9: I mean. 618 00:29:06,613 --> 00:29:08,973 Speaker 14: People like Peter Bet didn't kind of wait, cup one morning, 619 00:29:09,053 --> 00:29:11,253 Speaker 14: go ship man. There's always rockets lying around. If only 620 00:29:11,413 --> 00:29:15,173 Speaker 14: someone bought them all and created a rocket monopoly, I 621 00:29:15,173 --> 00:29:17,653 Speaker 14: could build a space company here in New Zealand. He 622 00:29:17,693 --> 00:29:20,813 Speaker 14: built it from scratch, that there was no company beforehand, 623 00:29:22,173 --> 00:29:26,933 Speaker 14: and I think that's the misnomer. The left spends a 624 00:29:26,933 --> 00:29:29,773 Speaker 14: lot of time thinking about how we can take the 625 00:29:29,773 --> 00:29:34,173 Speaker 14: pizza and cut it up in more interesting and diverse ways, 626 00:29:34,213 --> 00:29:35,693 Speaker 14: whereas the right kind of things, well, how do we 627 00:29:35,733 --> 00:29:41,133 Speaker 14: make the pizza ever bigger. I do respect the view 628 00:29:41,173 --> 00:29:44,613 Speaker 14: that you can't just pillage theirth of resources in order 629 00:29:44,653 --> 00:29:47,493 Speaker 14: to make ever more money. But like I said, wealth 630 00:29:47,533 --> 00:29:52,773 Speaker 14: creation these days is very much around intellectual property more 631 00:29:52,813 --> 00:30:00,613 Speaker 14: so than monopolistic resource ownership. And that's the difference. A 632 00:30:00,653 --> 00:30:05,653 Speaker 14: couple of thoughts on China and innovation. There read somewhere 633 00:30:05,653 --> 00:30:08,853 Speaker 14: that basically the Chinese government needs the Chinese economy to 634 00:30:08,933 --> 00:30:12,213 Speaker 14: grow between five and seven percent a year to remain 635 00:30:12,253 --> 00:30:13,653 Speaker 14: in power, and the only way it can do that 636 00:30:13,773 --> 00:30:17,933 Speaker 14: is through running a capitalist economy, because when your standard 637 00:30:17,933 --> 00:30:21,493 Speaker 14: of living is constantly increasing, you're less likely to overthrow 638 00:30:21,533 --> 00:30:24,293 Speaker 14: your government than if you're living in misery in your 639 00:30:25,373 --> 00:30:30,293 Speaker 14: life is getting worse. Another interesting anecdote I had was 640 00:30:30,493 --> 00:30:33,053 Speaker 14: I read a study somewhere that talked about innovation out 641 00:30:33,093 --> 00:30:38,133 Speaker 14: of the Communist the Soviet Block from the end of 642 00:30:38,173 --> 00:30:40,293 Speaker 14: the Second World War to the full Burmham Wall. And 643 00:30:40,333 --> 00:30:44,213 Speaker 14: basically the study looked at everything the Soviets created that 644 00:30:44,333 --> 00:30:48,733 Speaker 14: wasn't either stolen from the West through espionage or copied 645 00:30:49,373 --> 00:30:54,213 Speaker 14: or was built on the back of, you know, basically 646 00:30:54,253 --> 00:30:56,933 Speaker 14: capturing German scientists alf the war. And they came up 647 00:30:56,933 --> 00:30:59,453 Speaker 14: with one specific example. 648 00:30:59,893 --> 00:31:00,133 Speaker 6: And I. 649 00:31:01,613 --> 00:31:03,573 Speaker 14: Doesn't matter how many how long I'll give you to 650 00:31:03,893 --> 00:31:06,613 Speaker 14: guess what it is, you never will. And the study 651 00:31:06,693 --> 00:31:08,893 Speaker 14: said the only thing they could think of that was, well, 652 00:31:08,933 --> 00:31:12,253 Speaker 14: find that was completely innovative that came out of out 653 00:31:12,253 --> 00:31:14,653 Speaker 14: of the Soviet era, was out of Hungary and it 654 00:31:14,693 --> 00:31:15,293 Speaker 14: was rubric. 655 00:31:15,493 --> 00:31:19,293 Speaker 3: And that was hanging on a minute, what. 656 00:31:19,253 --> 00:31:23,813 Speaker 2: About what's that? What's that? Fantastic huh video game, that 657 00:31:23,893 --> 00:31:26,133 Speaker 2: really simple one with the drops brocking down? Why am 658 00:31:26,133 --> 00:31:29,653 Speaker 2: I forgettings? Maybe maybe Tetris as well. 659 00:31:31,013 --> 00:31:32,093 Speaker 14: I'm not sure that. 660 00:31:32,693 --> 00:31:35,333 Speaker 2: So so when you when you look into you know, 661 00:31:35,453 --> 00:31:38,653 Speaker 2: China and and you know so obviously the capitalist part 662 00:31:38,693 --> 00:31:40,733 Speaker 2: of it. But but you know, as I'm getting a 663 00:31:40,733 --> 00:31:43,293 Speaker 2: lot of abuse from the text Hitchines saying here, but 664 00:31:43,293 --> 00:31:45,933 Speaker 2: but but you look at you know, the innovation there. 665 00:31:46,133 --> 00:31:48,253 Speaker 2: I mean, you cannot deny that there's a lot of 666 00:31:48,253 --> 00:31:50,533 Speaker 2: plagiarism going around, and there's a lot of ignoring of 667 00:31:50,533 --> 00:31:54,133 Speaker 2: of of of copyright, right, I mean. 668 00:31:54,293 --> 00:31:57,773 Speaker 14: That abs yeah, they I mean even the deep think 669 00:31:58,213 --> 00:32:01,453 Speaker 14: AI model they were launched recently supposedly was innovative. That's 670 00:32:01,493 --> 00:32:06,013 Speaker 14: then going into the source code they found, uh evidence 671 00:32:06,093 --> 00:32:10,053 Speaker 14: that some of it was copied from US versions and 672 00:32:10,373 --> 00:32:11,013 Speaker 14: that sort of stuff. 673 00:32:11,293 --> 00:32:13,213 Speaker 2: You've always got to ask the question. And you look, 674 00:32:13,213 --> 00:32:16,453 Speaker 2: I'm no expert on it, but if everything is you know, 675 00:32:16,493 --> 00:32:19,493 Speaker 2: you look at Tektok for example, at the end every 676 00:32:19,493 --> 00:32:23,973 Speaker 2: company in China is effectively owned by the government. You 677 00:32:23,973 --> 00:32:26,613 Speaker 2: can have billionaires, you can have the success, but you 678 00:32:26,653 --> 00:32:29,293 Speaker 2: always have to be asking that question on innovation. You know, 679 00:32:29,453 --> 00:32:32,413 Speaker 2: of the people above you, and is this an acceptable 680 00:32:32,453 --> 00:32:35,573 Speaker 2: thing to do? So there are limits. There's always limitations 681 00:32:35,733 --> 00:32:38,213 Speaker 2: on what you do in a way that there isn't 682 00:32:38,693 --> 00:32:41,653 Speaker 2: in free, democratic societies. It's just the way it is. 683 00:32:42,013 --> 00:32:44,973 Speaker 2: And they're huge. You know, the infrastructure projects they have 684 00:32:45,053 --> 00:32:48,293 Speaker 2: in China are absolutely phenomenal, and the way some of 685 00:32:48,293 --> 00:32:51,613 Speaker 2: their city's runners are amazing. But I don't know if 686 00:32:51,653 --> 00:32:53,453 Speaker 2: everyone here would want to give up the freedom that 687 00:32:53,493 --> 00:32:55,853 Speaker 2: we have here to say and do what we want 688 00:32:56,333 --> 00:32:58,373 Speaker 2: just for some really kick ass bridges. I'm not sure. 689 00:32:58,373 --> 00:33:03,213 Speaker 14: Maybe they would, Yeah, but as you say, it's still 690 00:33:03,533 --> 00:33:10,253 Speaker 14: it's a communist government underpinned by quite thy capitalist system. 691 00:33:10,733 --> 00:33:13,293 Speaker 14: And you know, you can tell that like when Trump 692 00:33:14,053 --> 00:33:17,253 Speaker 14: started applaying tariffs to China, lots of people said, or 693 00:33:17,333 --> 00:33:21,253 Speaker 14: China doesn't care because you know that they've got lots 694 00:33:21,253 --> 00:33:24,293 Speaker 14: of other trading partners. But there was the key financial 695 00:33:24,333 --> 00:33:27,613 Speaker 14: report that said the Chinese government started buying up shares 696 00:33:27,933 --> 00:33:31,453 Speaker 14: on the on the Shanghai Stock Exchange, and that's always 697 00:33:31,453 --> 00:33:35,573 Speaker 14: an indicator that they are concerned about the economy because 698 00:33:35,653 --> 00:33:41,013 Speaker 14: so many Chinese have their wealth invested in stocks. And 699 00:33:41,173 --> 00:33:43,493 Speaker 14: again it comes back to that question, is they want 700 00:33:43,533 --> 00:33:46,053 Speaker 14: to continue to raise the standard living, so they started 701 00:33:46,053 --> 00:33:49,893 Speaker 14: buying up stocks to ensure that the market didn't for 702 00:33:50,333 --> 00:33:53,933 Speaker 14: They're also currently propping up the real estate market by 703 00:33:54,093 --> 00:33:57,373 Speaker 14: by you know, hundreds and not trillions of dollars. You know, 704 00:33:57,773 --> 00:34:02,093 Speaker 14: there's all those ghost towns and problems, problems. 705 00:34:01,813 --> 00:34:05,253 Speaker 2: And then you know, look into the population collapse over here. 706 00:34:05,253 --> 00:34:06,813 Speaker 2: It's an interesting problem. We've all got that. 707 00:34:07,013 --> 00:34:12,093 Speaker 14: Yeah, but around yeah, trying to maintain a sense of 708 00:34:13,172 --> 00:34:14,413 Speaker 14: continuing to build wealth. 709 00:34:14,973 --> 00:34:16,413 Speaker 2: Yeah, thank you so much for your call, Graham.

It's simple as that. So we'll 749 00:36:01,893 --> 00:36:03,613 Speaker 3: get us thought shortly eight to two. 750 00:36:04,653 --> 00:36:09,333 Speaker 1: Mattie Taylor Adams taking your calls on eight hundred. It's 751 00:36:09,413 --> 00:36:13,773 Speaker 1: Matt Heathen, Tyler Adams Afternoons. 752 00:36:13,053 --> 00:36:15,013 Speaker 3: New Dogs. It is five to two. 753 00:36:16,093 --> 00:36:19,053 Speaker 2: Matt Welcome to show your thoughts on this. Should billionaires exist? 754 00:36:20,493 --> 00:36:20,692 Speaker 15: Yeah? 755 00:36:20,733 --> 00:36:23,893 Speaker 16: Okay, So I was kind of going to put it 756 00:36:24,173 --> 00:36:26,693 Speaker 16: back to you and Tyler as well and just have 757 00:36:26,813 --> 00:36:31,973 Speaker 16: it sort of an interactive uhally about it. So basically, 758 00:36:32,093 --> 00:36:37,053 Speaker 16: basically we've got people attacking billionaires. I've seen billionaires. You've 759 00:36:37,093 --> 00:36:40,053 Speaker 16: seen them, and and you do get to a point 760 00:36:40,053 --> 00:36:42,333 Speaker 16: where if you start to see just how much money 761 00:36:42,413 --> 00:36:46,333 Speaker 16: they actually have put together, it can actually make you 762 00:36:46,373 --> 00:36:50,573 Speaker 16: feel sick. Like I've been there, and it's like, man, 763 00:36:50,653 --> 00:36:53,453 Speaker 16: do you really need all of that? Could you not 764 00:36:53,773 --> 00:36:58,573 Speaker 16: have shared some of that? And I think with fat 765 00:36:58,613 --> 00:37:02,013 Speaker 16: wealth there probably is like a sort of a bit 766 00:37:02,053 --> 00:37:05,493 Speaker 16: of a responsibility to do something to help people if 767 00:37:05,533 --> 00:37:09,333 Speaker 16: you can. But in saying that, I don't think you 768 00:37:09,373 --> 00:37:12,093 Speaker 16: can force them to do it. And I think that 769 00:37:12,253 --> 00:37:15,613 Speaker 16: a great deal of billionaires probably i'd say more often 770 00:37:15,653 --> 00:37:18,413 Speaker 16: than not. Quite so terrific anyway, and they do do 771 00:37:18,493 --> 00:37:20,173 Speaker 16: a lot to help people. They make a lot of 772 00:37:20,213 --> 00:37:21,773 Speaker 16: serious And it was there not a key with you 773 00:37:21,813 --> 00:37:24,453 Speaker 16: who donated enough? Was it one hundred million dollars for 774 00:37:24,573 --> 00:37:27,373 Speaker 16: the ward in the hospital? 775 00:37:28,653 --> 00:37:28,853 Speaker 6: Yeah? 776 00:37:29,133 --> 00:37:31,973 Speaker 16: Yeah, So there you go. That's one man. Everybody probably 777 00:37:32,053 --> 00:37:34,652 Speaker 16: doesn't much like that he owns that much money. But 778 00:37:35,013 --> 00:37:37,293 Speaker 16: the New Zealand government couldn't even put a ward on 779 00:37:37,333 --> 00:37:40,493 Speaker 16: that hospital. But oh no, a wealthy man came along 780 00:37:40,533 --> 00:37:42,293 Speaker 16: and there it is. You now have your ward. You're 781 00:37:42,333 --> 00:37:44,813 Speaker 16: welcome like that was up to him that he's a 782 00:37:44,853 --> 00:37:46,613 Speaker 16: host of his money. 783 00:37:46,413 --> 00:37:49,613 Speaker 2: Hey, Matt, I'm really enjoying this chat with you, but 784 00:37:49,853 --> 00:37:52,253 Speaker 2: we have got the news coming in hot.

One 793 00:38:07,413 --> 00:38:09,293 Speaker 3: hundred and eighty ten eighty is that number of call. 794 00:38:09,333 --> 00:38:12,733 Speaker 3: Should billionaires exist or are they? Do they provide some 795 00:38:12,853 --> 00:38:15,013 Speaker 3: value to society? Love to get your thoughts on this 796 00:38:15,173 --> 00:38:18,333 Speaker 3: nine two ninety two, the text number, News Sport and 797 00:38:18,373 --> 00:38:21,413 Speaker 3: where they're coming up. Then we'll get back to our caller, Matts. 798 00:38:24,413 --> 00:38:28,213 Speaker 1: Talking with you all afternoon. It's Matt Heathen Taylor Adams 799 00:38:28,293 --> 00:38:30,053 Speaker 1: Afternoons News Talks. 800 00:38:30,093 --> 00:38:33,653 Speaker 3: It'd be good day to you. Welcome back into the show. 801 00:38:33,933 --> 00:38:36,333 Speaker 3: Six past two. So we have been talking about the 802 00:38:36,413 --> 00:38:40,293 Speaker 3: pushback against billionaires in recent times, a lot of pushback 803 00:38:40,333 --> 00:38:43,453 Speaker 3: overseas but also here in New Zealand. So we've been 804 00:38:43,493 --> 00:38:46,213 Speaker 3: asking you do you think billionaires should exist? 805 00:38:46,733 --> 00:38:50,173 Speaker 2: Yeah? Do you celebrate their innovation and job creation? Or 806 00:38:50,373 --> 00:38:53,772 Speaker 2: do you think in a finite world of resources, it's 807 00:38:53,853 --> 00:38:56,652 Speaker 2: somehow morally wrong and unfair to have that much money 808 00:38:56,693 --> 00:39:00,133 Speaker 2: when some people have nothing at all. That's discussion. One 809 00:39:00,173 --> 00:39:03,013 Speaker 2: hundred and eighty ten or eighty is the number. And Matt, 810 00:39:03,053 --> 00:39:06,053 Speaker 2: we had to cut you off for the news, so 811 00:39:06,213 --> 00:39:09,813 Speaker 2: welcome back. When we left, you were positing a few 812 00:39:09,893 --> 00:39:11,212 Speaker 2: questions to Tyler and I. 813 00:39:12,173 --> 00:39:13,733 Speaker 16: Yeah, so you hear me, all right. 814 00:39:13,893 --> 00:39:15,692 Speaker 2: Yep, you clear as a bell. 815 00:39:16,493 --> 00:39:19,813 Speaker 16: Okay, So all I was saying is I think we've 816 00:39:19,853 --> 00:39:24,293 Speaker 16: all seen multi billionaires with all their toys and felt 817 00:39:24,293 --> 00:39:26,772 Speaker 16: a bit sick with you. Almost could think that they're 818 00:39:26,773 --> 00:39:29,493 Speaker 16: a little greedy or whatever. But I think a lot 819 00:39:29,533 --> 00:39:32,973 Speaker 16: of people have responsibility to do good, and a great 820 00:39:33,013 --> 00:39:35,573 Speaker 16: deal of them do. I think a lot of them 821 00:39:35,653 --> 00:39:39,093 Speaker 16: aren't just obsessed with hoarding money and trying to live forever. 822 00:39:39,573 --> 00:39:41,693 Speaker 16: I think they take a bit of joy from spreading 823 00:39:41,693 --> 00:39:43,692 Speaker 16: their money around as well. And like you say, they 824 00:39:43,733 --> 00:39:46,893 Speaker 16: create jobs and pay a lot of tacks. And so 825 00:39:46,933 --> 00:39:48,933 Speaker 16: the question I was was going to ask you guys, 826 00:39:49,053 --> 00:39:52,772 Speaker 16: is like, have you ever met someone who's really good 827 00:39:52,813 --> 00:39:53,333 Speaker 16: with money? 828 00:39:54,253 --> 00:39:57,453 Speaker 2: Yep? I have? I think of a couple. 829 00:39:57,453 --> 00:39:59,493 Speaker 3: Yep, yep. I can think of a few people. 830 00:39:59,773 --> 00:40:01,973 Speaker 16: Yeah, And I hate to do this, but have you 831 00:40:01,973 --> 00:40:04,133 Speaker 16: ever met someone who's just terrible with money? 832 00:40:04,613 --> 00:40:07,093 Speaker 2: I meet that person every morning in the bathroom mirror. 833 00:40:08,453 --> 00:40:13,733 Speaker 16: Yeah, it's fair enough. And so I think that's just reality, right. So, 834 00:40:13,893 --> 00:40:16,692 Speaker 16: like for every intelligent person you meet, you might meet 835 00:40:16,733 --> 00:40:20,453 Speaker 16: a person you think, man, they're highly intelligent. The dark 836 00:40:20,493 --> 00:40:23,493 Speaker 16: side of that is that somewhere else in the other 837 00:40:23,573 --> 00:40:26,252 Speaker 16: side of there has to be someone who's not quite 838 00:40:26,333 --> 00:40:29,093 Speaker 16: that intelligent. So it's the same as that. So basically 839 00:40:30,213 --> 00:40:32,813 Speaker 16: a classic example that I would give is like if 840 00:40:32,853 --> 00:40:35,652 Speaker 16: you take you must have heard the stats on our 841 00:40:35,693 --> 00:40:40,533 Speaker 16: first division lotto winners and how often they are bankrupt 842 00:40:40,573 --> 00:40:43,373 Speaker 16: within two years. It is like a great percentage eighty 843 00:40:43,413 --> 00:40:45,733 Speaker 16: plus percent or something. You'd have to fact check me, 844 00:40:45,813 --> 00:40:50,613 Speaker 16: but it's appalling. So basically, these are people that have 845 00:40:50,813 --> 00:40:53,773 Speaker 16: won lotto and they just can't keep it together for 846 00:40:53,853 --> 00:40:57,652 Speaker 16: two years. So to the whole argument of taking all 847 00:40:57,693 --> 00:41:01,533 Speaker 16: the money off the wealthy billionaires, I've not heard any 848 00:41:01,573 --> 00:41:05,652 Speaker 16: other argues other than other arguments other than to redistribute it, 849 00:41:05,733 --> 00:41:09,133 Speaker 16: which would mean everybody gets a piece of pie. So 850 00:41:10,133 --> 00:41:14,133 Speaker 16: I think that if you hand certain people a whole 851 00:41:14,213 --> 00:41:17,053 Speaker 16: lot of money, like that guy that was on earlier said, hey, 852 00:41:17,053 --> 00:41:19,933 Speaker 16: if you gave everyone a million dollars, everyone just wouldn't 853 00:41:19,933 --> 00:41:22,573 Speaker 16: go to work tomorrow. Well, actually that's not true. There's 854 00:41:22,613 --> 00:41:24,333 Speaker 16: a lot of people that have a million dollars in 855 00:41:24,373 --> 00:41:27,732 Speaker 16: their bank and still go to work. In fact, they're 856 00:41:27,773 --> 00:41:31,652 Speaker 16: not content with that. They grow their businesses more, they 857 00:41:31,693 --> 00:41:35,893 Speaker 16: hire more people. It's not that's a classic example of 858 00:41:35,933 --> 00:41:39,333 Speaker 16: what he thinks that but that's not true. Like we 859 00:41:39,373 --> 00:41:42,373 Speaker 16: all know a millionaire who goes to work. Surely I 860 00:41:42,413 --> 00:41:48,093 Speaker 16: can name some. So basically, the thing I think is 861 00:41:48,093 --> 00:41:51,613 Speaker 16: if you just redistribute all the wealth and people who 862 00:41:51,613 --> 00:41:53,773 Speaker 16: are great with money get some, and people who are 863 00:41:53,813 --> 00:41:57,493 Speaker 16: bad with money get some, then the people who are 864 00:41:57,613 --> 00:42:00,413 Speaker 16: terrible with money will just lose that money quite quickly, 865 00:42:00,693 --> 00:42:04,893 Speaker 16: and it'll basically it'll become cyclical, and you'll end up 866 00:42:05,573 --> 00:42:09,453 Speaker 16: back where we are, which is the PA That's the 867 00:42:09,493 --> 00:42:12,613 Speaker 16: way it got there, you know, in my opinion, because 868 00:42:12,773 --> 00:42:14,613 Speaker 16: most of the people that I've met who are really 869 00:42:14,653 --> 00:42:19,413 Speaker 16: wealthy and grow their wealth heaven inherited it. They they've 870 00:42:19,533 --> 00:42:23,133 Speaker 16: usually come from a really tough upbringing or background, and 871 00:42:23,173 --> 00:42:27,373 Speaker 16: they've been really, really highly motivated. They've had a lot 872 00:42:27,373 --> 00:42:30,853 Speaker 16: of boogie, They've taken huge risks, a lot of them, 873 00:42:30,893 --> 00:42:34,493 Speaker 16: and many of them have just made massive sacrifices ones 874 00:42:34,573 --> 00:42:37,173 Speaker 16: that I'm not like, I'm not a wealthy I'm just tradesman, 875 00:42:37,373 --> 00:42:39,213 Speaker 16: so I'm not a wealthy man. So I'm not defending 876 00:42:39,293 --> 00:42:44,413 Speaker 16: them from any other perspective that I respect people who 877 00:42:45,133 --> 00:42:47,693 Speaker 16: they have put a lot of effort in because I've seen. 878 00:42:47,493 --> 00:42:47,973 Speaker 9: Them do it. 879 00:42:48,053 --> 00:42:50,172 Speaker 16: Like they'll buy a house and then they'll sit on 880 00:42:50,213 --> 00:42:53,173 Speaker 16: a paint can you know, they don't buy furniture because 881 00:42:54,253 --> 00:42:56,333 Speaker 16: that's not what they're interested in. Like, these are the 882 00:42:56,373 --> 00:42:59,653 Speaker 16: people that when you're out partying, they stayed home and studied. 883 00:42:59,693 --> 00:43:02,813 Speaker 16: Like they've made those choices and they got that degree. 884 00:43:03,493 --> 00:43:06,692 Speaker 16: They I mean, you could say they're stingy. Maybe yeah, 885 00:43:06,693 --> 00:43:08,172 Speaker 16: they're stingy. They started off. 886 00:43:10,373 --> 00:43:14,413 Speaker 2: You hear those stories of incredibly wealthy peeping people inserting 887 00:43:14,453 --> 00:43:16,573 Speaker 2: their credit card into the machine rather than use the 888 00:43:16,613 --> 00:43:17,133 Speaker 2: pay weights. 889 00:43:18,573 --> 00:43:22,253 Speaker 16: Yeah, yeah, and like yeah exactly, Matt and Donald Trump, 890 00:43:22,413 --> 00:43:24,893 Speaker 16: like yeah, he's is he a billionaire? I think he's 891 00:43:24,893 --> 00:43:28,373 Speaker 16: a billionaire, but he's been bankrupt a number of times. 892 00:43:28,573 --> 00:43:32,333 Speaker 16: So as long as you're happy to, you know, take 893 00:43:32,373 --> 00:43:35,212 Speaker 16: all of those risks right like that. Not many people are. 894 00:43:35,373 --> 00:43:38,373 Speaker 16: I'm not, but I think it goes hand in hand 895 00:43:38,413 --> 00:43:41,973 Speaker 16: with like a tall poppy syndrome, which we've kind of 896 00:43:42,013 --> 00:43:45,533 Speaker 16: had a bit of a reputation for in this country, 897 00:43:45,613 --> 00:43:48,173 Speaker 16: where you can't just be happy. Like I want Tyler 898 00:43:48,213 --> 00:43:50,773 Speaker 16: to be a millionaire, I want Matt to be a millionaire. 899 00:43:50,773 --> 00:43:53,133 Speaker 16: I want everyone to be a millionaire. I actually really do. 900 00:43:54,373 --> 00:43:57,453 Speaker 16: And if everybody in this country builds everybody in this 901 00:43:57,533 --> 00:44:01,213 Speaker 16: country up, we'll all pay more attack all of a sudden, 902 00:44:01,293 --> 00:44:03,093 Speaker 16: Oh my gosh, we'll be able to power doctors, will 903 00:44:03,133 --> 00:44:06,093 Speaker 16: be a power nurses more. All are these people that 904 00:44:06,173 --> 00:44:07,973 Speaker 16: are struggling will have a bit more money. What we 905 00:44:08,053 --> 00:44:12,213 Speaker 16: need is boogie, What we need is commerce man like, 906 00:44:12,453 --> 00:44:13,973 Speaker 16: not not jelly. 907 00:44:14,253 --> 00:44:14,333 Speaker 17: Like. 908 00:44:14,493 --> 00:44:17,893 Speaker 16: I don't like seeing people who are just bitter and 909 00:44:18,493 --> 00:44:21,172 Speaker 16: because I'm not I'm not a wealthy person, but I'm 910 00:44:21,213 --> 00:44:24,533 Speaker 16: not gonna say, oh, look at that rich guy, I 911 00:44:24,533 --> 00:44:26,853 Speaker 16: should have some of his money, Like, I just don't 912 00:44:26,853 --> 00:44:31,653 Speaker 16: see it like that. I've chosen to buy certain things 913 00:44:31,653 --> 00:44:35,133 Speaker 16: in my life instead of investing and shares with that money. 914 00:44:35,173 --> 00:44:38,133 Speaker 16: And they they grew their money and I didn't in 915 00:44:38,173 --> 00:44:40,453 Speaker 16: that area, and so oh no, look what happened. They 916 00:44:40,493 --> 00:44:41,333 Speaker 16: have more money than me. 917 00:44:41,413 --> 00:44:41,813 Speaker 18: Who knew? 918 00:44:42,373 --> 00:44:46,053 Speaker 2: Yeah, well, I mean it's like everything, there's always someone 919 00:44:46,133 --> 00:44:48,013 Speaker 2: richer than you, and there's always someone poorer in you, 920 00:44:48,093 --> 00:44:50,973 Speaker 2: but we choose to always look. So a lot of 921 00:44:51,053 --> 00:44:52,733 Speaker 2: a lot of people are just looking at billionaires and 922 00:44:52,773 --> 00:44:57,213 Speaker 2: focusing totally on those people. But they're not focusing, you know, 923 00:44:57,293 --> 00:45:00,893 Speaker 2: comparing themselves with the majority of people in the world 924 00:45:00,893 --> 00:45:03,652 Speaker 2: that aren't born in New Zealand. Who would look at 925 00:45:03,693 --> 00:45:06,853 Speaker 2: us and think our like disgusting community. You know, the 926 00:45:06,853 --> 00:45:09,493 Speaker 2: amount of stuff we own and wait as they wouldn't 927 00:45:09,493 --> 00:45:12,893 Speaker 2: believe it, and then they wouldn't believe that we were. 928 00:45:12,933 --> 00:45:15,212 Speaker 2: Not only that, but we feel that we're poor and 929 00:45:15,253 --> 00:45:17,333 Speaker 2: we envy other people, you know, while we get our 930 00:45:17,373 --> 00:45:19,413 Speaker 2: food out of the fridge. The biggest concern is that 931 00:45:19,453 --> 00:45:22,013 Speaker 2: we don't get overweight with it. We're on these strict 932 00:45:22,013 --> 00:45:24,893 Speaker 2: diets to try and stay thin. You know, they would 933 00:45:24,933 --> 00:45:27,013 Speaker 2: look at us and go, not a huge difference between 934 00:45:27,013 --> 00:45:28,253 Speaker 2: you and a billionaire. 935 00:45:27,813 --> 00:45:32,293 Speaker 16: There, Oh you are, like I was raised in West Africa, 936 00:45:32,453 --> 00:45:36,613 Speaker 16: so you are living someone else's dream, I promise you, man. 937 00:45:36,813 --> 00:45:39,133 Speaker 16: And and if you want to wake up in the 938 00:45:39,173 --> 00:45:42,693 Speaker 16: morning and forget that and just be a bitter, twisted, 939 00:45:43,133 --> 00:45:46,733 Speaker 16: upset person, I can't. I can't anymore because I've seen 940 00:45:47,613 --> 00:45:52,373 Speaker 16: true poverty. Like we used to tip, like not purposefully, 941 00:45:52,493 --> 00:45:55,252 Speaker 16: but if we were driving down the road and we'd 942 00:45:55,293 --> 00:45:57,733 Speaker 16: had enough of what we were drinking, we would tip 943 00:45:58,253 --> 00:46:00,973 Speaker 16: our drink out the window and there would be three 944 00:46:01,133 --> 00:46:05,853 Speaker 16: mug like three bowls underneath that catching it in a fight. 945 00:46:06,493 --> 00:46:10,292 Speaker 16: Like it was terribly poor over there. And I can't 946 00:46:10,693 --> 00:46:13,013 Speaker 16: tell people it. You kind of have to see it. 947 00:46:13,053 --> 00:46:13,653 Speaker 9: For yourself. 948 00:46:13,733 --> 00:46:17,172 Speaker 16: But I personally wake up in this country every day 949 00:46:17,213 --> 00:46:21,453 Speaker 16: and I'm really, really, really rich. Yeah, you know, and 950 00:46:21,493 --> 00:46:24,493 Speaker 16: what do they says, You've got ten dollars in coins 951 00:46:24,493 --> 00:46:27,933 Speaker 16: in your car. You're in the top nine percentile in 952 00:46:27,933 --> 00:46:30,133 Speaker 16: the world or something. It's crazy something. 953 00:46:30,333 --> 00:46:32,493 Speaker 2: So there's all these people that are pointing the finger 954 00:46:32,613 --> 00:46:36,853 Speaker 2: and saying this disgusting wealth everywhere. But could you could 955 00:46:36,853 --> 00:46:39,093 Speaker 2: give away a lot? You could give away a lot. 956 00:46:39,213 --> 00:46:42,293 Speaker 2: I remember I was in India once and I got 957 00:46:42,293 --> 00:46:44,772 Speaker 2: confused with the money and I handed some money out 958 00:46:44,853 --> 00:46:48,172 Speaker 2: for some some roses. I saw something outside the car 959 00:46:48,213 --> 00:46:50,573 Speaker 2: and he was selling roses and I handed some money out, 960 00:46:50,573 --> 00:46:53,053 Speaker 2: and I handed way way more money than I intended out, 961 00:46:53,573 --> 00:46:56,772 Speaker 2: and it just caused this huge sensation.

She made a fortune that day, but the 1005 00:48:45,533 --> 00:48:47,293 Speaker 2: entire village I would have done well out of it, 1006 00:48:47,333 --> 00:48:47,933 Speaker 2: as well. 1007 00:48:48,013 --> 00:48:52,173 Speaker 3: As a gorgeous story. But it puts things into perspective. Niko, 1008 00:48:52,413 --> 00:48:55,253 Speaker 3: how are you, mate. 1009 00:48:54,733 --> 00:48:59,212 Speaker 12: I'm fine, Tyler. I just want to say. One thing 1010 00:48:59,253 --> 00:49:02,213 Speaker 12: we must have realized is that the French Revolution was 1011 00:49:02,493 --> 00:49:05,652 Speaker 12: fought over the divide between the reach and the poor. 1012 00:49:05,773 --> 00:49:08,293 Speaker 12: That's two hundred and forty years ago, in seventeen eighty. 1013 00:49:09,293 --> 00:49:11,692 Speaker 12: We still have a reach and before today, and it 1014 00:49:11,773 --> 00:49:13,973 Speaker 12: is going to be like that one hundred years from now. 1015 00:49:14,093 --> 00:49:18,853 Speaker 12: It's a sad hility that will always have been made. 1016 00:49:19,973 --> 00:49:21,933 Speaker 12: There's nothing we can do about it. Even if you 1017 00:49:22,013 --> 00:49:24,973 Speaker 12: listen to Elvis Peasley, some baghetto song where these things 1018 00:49:25,013 --> 00:49:28,733 Speaker 12: about this wasn't fifty seven years ago that he made 1019 00:49:28,773 --> 00:49:32,093 Speaker 12: that song about. But were people struggling and they're still 1020 00:49:32,093 --> 00:49:36,093 Speaker 12: struggling today. It's a sad reality. 1021 00:49:35,333 --> 00:49:38,333 Speaker 3: Justly on that I mean, isn't that? And it might 1022 00:49:38,373 --> 00:49:40,453 Speaker 3: be hyperbolic to a lot of people out there, But 1023 00:49:40,533 --> 00:49:43,933 Speaker 3: you mentioned the French Revolution. That was a massive time 1024 00:49:43,933 --> 00:49:46,333 Speaker 3: of upheaval in the history of Europe and in many 1025 00:49:46,373 --> 00:49:48,933 Speaker 3: parts of the world because of that very reason, because 1026 00:49:48,973 --> 00:49:51,333 Speaker 3: of growing inequality, and that had enough of the powers 1027 00:49:51,333 --> 00:49:52,373 Speaker 3: that be in the royal family. 1028 00:49:52,453 --> 00:49:55,093 Speaker 2: Well, there are people in the States pulling up in 1029 00:49:55,093 --> 00:49:59,573 Speaker 2: front of rich people's houses with gallatines five exactly. People 1030 00:49:59,573 --> 00:50:01,053 Speaker 2: still remember what happened back then. 1031 00:50:01,173 --> 00:50:02,573 Speaker 3: Yeah. 1032 00:50:03,013 --> 00:50:07,973 Speaker 12: No, I personally, I'm just a manager for the automotive 1033 00:50:08,013 --> 00:50:13,093 Speaker 12: and Co Company, But I do love billionaires, although industry 1034 00:50:13,133 --> 00:50:17,493 Speaker 12: will not exist without them. Microsoft doesn't employ hundreds by 1035 00:50:17,613 --> 00:50:22,773 Speaker 12: employ thousands. Amazon doesn't employ hundreds by employee thousands. So 1036 00:50:22,973 --> 00:50:25,253 Speaker 12: if it was me and I know what I'm going 1037 00:50:25,293 --> 00:50:27,732 Speaker 12: to say next is going to make a swabbri choke 1038 00:50:27,813 --> 00:50:32,053 Speaker 12: on a kale and tofu sandwich. But I personally think 1039 00:50:32,093 --> 00:50:35,093 Speaker 12: billionaire should not even pay personal text because they do 1040 00:50:35,213 --> 00:50:36,053 Speaker 12: contribute enough. 1041 00:50:36,493 --> 00:50:37,773 Speaker 2: Wow, that's bad. 1042 00:50:37,973 --> 00:50:39,013 Speaker 3: Yep, it's a bold statement. 1043 00:50:39,053 --> 00:50:45,893 Speaker 2: The ass all billionaires or specific billionaires. 1044 00:50:46,813 --> 00:50:50,493 Speaker 12: Well, you know you can must probably go means testing them. 1045 00:50:50,533 --> 00:50:53,573 Speaker 12: But I would say if a billionaire does contribute to 1046 00:50:53,613 --> 00:50:57,373 Speaker 12: the economy or that country, or even to the global economy, 1047 00:50:57,453 --> 00:51:01,813 Speaker 12: then yeah, don't let him. A typical example is Amazon, 1048 00:51:01,853 --> 00:51:04,613 Speaker 12: and a typical example is Microsoft. Ware by owned by 1049 00:51:04,613 --> 00:51:08,133 Speaker 12: private people. And most people have created those companies which 1050 00:51:08,133 --> 00:51:11,093 Speaker 12: can jobs, which place business tax, and most people that 1051 00:51:11,293 --> 00:51:16,053 Speaker 12: work place income tax, so it's literally feeding their economy. 1052 00:51:16,653 --> 00:51:20,212 Speaker 12: Governments can't run economies. Governments do not have a money 1053 00:51:20,253 --> 00:51:22,493 Speaker 12: to run economies because I need to do it off taxpace. 1054 00:51:22,493 --> 00:51:25,013 Speaker 12: And if you give everything to the government to take 1055 00:51:25,013 --> 00:51:27,533 Speaker 12: a billionaires out of a picture, they will not be 1056 00:51:27,733 --> 00:51:32,093 Speaker 12: enough money to sustain the country, it's people, it's infrastructure, 1057 00:51:32,133 --> 00:51:34,973 Speaker 12: and give everybody as job, they will not be enough money. 1058 00:51:36,373 --> 00:51:41,053 Speaker 2: Now do you think, Niko that let's just say a 1059 00:51:41,093 --> 00:51:45,173 Speaker 2: billionaire who's got a super yacht and various other things, 1060 00:51:45,213 --> 00:51:51,893 Speaker 2: several palaces, giant mansions, who doesn't give anything back, would 1061 00:51:51,893 --> 00:51:54,453 Speaker 2: that be morally wrong? Would it be morally wrong to 1062 00:51:54,533 --> 00:51:57,253 Speaker 2: be that wealthy? And you know, as you point out, 1063 00:51:57,253 --> 00:51:59,813 Speaker 2: they're giving stuff back with their businesses and the income 1064 00:51:59,853 --> 00:52:03,253 Speaker 2: tax and such with their businesses. But to be sitting 1065 00:52:03,293 --> 00:52:08,213 Speaker 2: with a huge amount of wealth and excess resources and 1066 00:52:08,453 --> 00:52:11,413 Speaker 2: to not be a philanthropist of some sort, do you 1067 00:52:11,453 --> 00:52:13,252 Speaker 2: think that would be morally wrong? 1068 00:52:14,933 --> 00:52:16,292 Speaker 6: It depends on the matter. 1069 00:52:16,373 --> 00:52:18,973 Speaker 12: Depends on how they made the money as well as minute. 1070 00:52:19,493 --> 00:52:22,493 Speaker 12: If it doesn't, I don't know how he can make 1071 00:52:22,533 --> 00:52:27,493 Speaker 12: billions without having an industry to make it from people 1072 00:52:27,533 --> 00:52:30,013 Speaker 12: to work for you. But you know, even if a 1073 00:52:30,053 --> 00:52:34,693 Speaker 12: guy doesn't do philanthropical work with all these billions, I 1074 00:52:34,773 --> 00:52:37,213 Speaker 12: really don't care as long as he does contribute to 1075 00:52:37,293 --> 00:52:40,213 Speaker 12: the economy in the form of having a business that 1076 00:52:40,293 --> 00:52:44,413 Speaker 12: employs people, that gives the taxes to the government's coffers. 1077 00:52:44,493 --> 00:52:47,093 Speaker 12: When I've got no problem. You can have six or 1078 00:52:47,093 --> 00:52:48,773 Speaker 12: seven boats, and if he wants to give me one, 1079 00:52:48,773 --> 00:52:49,653 Speaker 12: I'll take it from. 1080 00:52:52,253 --> 00:52:52,933 Speaker 18: Yeah, but I. 1081 00:52:52,853 --> 00:52:55,613 Speaker 12: Would not knock him down. The most probably worked hard, 1082 00:52:55,693 --> 00:52:58,293 Speaker 12: or if he hasn't, his family has worked hard to 1083 00:52:58,453 --> 00:53:02,692 Speaker 12: achieve and they they don't make that money because they think, 1084 00:53:02,853 --> 00:53:04,172 Speaker 12: you know what, I'm going to be so rich, I'm 1085 00:53:04,213 --> 00:53:06,053 Speaker 12: just going to give money away. No way they make 1086 00:53:06,093 --> 00:53:08,493 Speaker 12: it to become rich to have a good lifestyle. Some 1087 00:53:08,533 --> 00:53:13,493 Speaker 12: of them becomes exuberantly rich, like Elon Musk. But they 1088 00:53:13,493 --> 00:53:16,453 Speaker 12: still give back Elon Musk and there's some satellite thing 1089 00:53:16,453 --> 00:53:20,613 Speaker 12: that he's got starlink, he said, just going to save 1090 00:53:20,693 --> 00:53:24,453 Speaker 12: those people from space that were stuck in the spacecrafting. 1091 00:53:25,293 --> 00:53:28,493 Speaker 12: So they do give back in that form. Narsok couldn't 1092 00:53:28,533 --> 00:53:30,773 Speaker 12: do it, America couldn't do it, but Elon Musk did it. 1093 00:53:30,853 --> 00:53:33,853 Speaker 12: And people must appreciate that if he wasn't that reach, 1094 00:53:33,973 --> 00:53:37,293 Speaker 12: you wouldn't have that facilities and that ability to. 1095 00:53:37,333 --> 00:53:39,573 Speaker 3: Do are they, Yeah, that's sport when it comes to 1096 00:53:39,653 --> 00:53:42,493 Speaker 3: Elon Musk has type of altruism as innovation, right, And 1097 00:53:42,573 --> 00:53:44,533 Speaker 3: I think he got into the idea of space X 1098 00:53:44,653 --> 00:53:46,853 Speaker 3: because he was worried about the planet that we live 1099 00:53:46,933 --> 00:53:48,733 Speaker 3: on and we may need Mars at some stage. 1100 00:53:48,893 --> 00:53:51,333 Speaker 2: Yeah. Well, I mean, whether you agree with Elon Musk 1101 00:53:51,453 --> 00:53:53,893 Speaker 2: or not, he has his principles that he believes and 1102 00:53:54,053 --> 00:53:57,053 Speaker 2: he follows them. Free speech he thought that was a problem, 1103 00:53:57,133 --> 00:54:00,253 Speaker 2: so he bought X. Worried about paralyzed people, who's got 1104 00:54:00,333 --> 00:54:03,893 Speaker 2: neuro length, your reusable rockets, what you're talking about with 1105 00:54:04,413 --> 00:54:07,013 Speaker 2: the Mars, and thinking that there needs to be he 1106 00:54:07,093 --> 00:54:09,373 Speaker 2: believes in consciousness it needs to be at least two 1107 00:54:09,413 --> 00:54:13,333 Speaker 2: places in the solar system with human consciousness. The Internet 1108 00:54:13,453 --> 00:54:16,133 Speaker 2: that you know, they're starlink that you're talking about, Nico's 1109 00:54:16,253 --> 00:54:21,253 Speaker 2: that's global Internet access. He's disrupted the auto industry, the 1110 00:54:21,373 --> 00:54:25,533 Speaker 2: largest ev charging networks, those the batteries just going on 1111 00:54:26,773 --> 00:54:28,813 Speaker 2: he bought.

Because of his 1117 00:54:43,293 --> 00:54:46,773 Speaker 2: great wealth, he has the ability to wield influence that 1118 00:54:47,053 --> 00:54:49,652 Speaker 2: the likes of you and I don't. And I think 1119 00:54:49,773 --> 00:54:52,053 Speaker 2: that's what makes people a little bit uncomfortable what he 1120 00:54:52,213 --> 00:54:55,933 Speaker 2: cares about. He gets to influence and that worries some 1121 00:54:56,213 --> 00:55:00,693 Speaker 2: some people, but not you. Nico.

I thought I found out it. 1179 00:57:36,093 --> 00:57:38,853 Speaker 19: I'd learned it all by myself once because I heard 1180 00:57:38,933 --> 00:57:43,293 Speaker 19: on the radio someone was interviewing a man from an 1181 00:57:43,333 --> 00:57:48,013 Speaker 19: Englishman who probably forty years ago began thought to himself, 1182 00:57:48,733 --> 00:57:52,253 Speaker 19: I want to start up a chocolate making company. I 1183 00:57:52,493 --> 00:57:55,933 Speaker 19: want to start up a chocolate making company which makes 1184 00:57:56,053 --> 00:57:57,773 Speaker 19: absolutely beautiful chocolate. 1185 00:57:58,013 --> 00:58:01,973 Speaker 2: Wasn't Willy Wonka, No, I don't think a lot of 1186 00:58:02,053 --> 00:58:02,653 Speaker 2: Willy Wonka. 1187 00:58:03,693 --> 00:58:06,173 Speaker 19: So the story, So the story was, you know that 1188 00:58:06,333 --> 00:58:09,693 Speaker 19: this Englishman had to borrow a lot of money and 1189 00:58:09,773 --> 00:58:11,853 Speaker 19: then he had to take a trip on a ship 1190 00:58:12,533 --> 00:58:15,333 Speaker 19: with some people who believed in his ideas over to 1191 00:58:15,453 --> 00:58:19,653 Speaker 19: Africa to find some people who would plant help him 1192 00:58:19,733 --> 00:58:25,053 Speaker 19: plant a plantation of cocoa bean plants. He had to 1193 00:58:25,133 --> 00:58:27,213 Speaker 19: go through you know, four five, six, seven, eight, nine, 1194 00:58:27,293 --> 00:58:31,213 Speaker 19: ten years. Whoever, however, before the trees were ready to 1195 00:58:31,333 --> 00:58:35,533 Speaker 19: produce cocoa beans, which he then had to back in England, 1196 00:58:35,973 --> 00:58:38,613 Speaker 19: he made a come, he made a factory, he had 1197 00:58:38,693 --> 00:58:41,853 Speaker 19: to pay builders to build the factory. He had to 1198 00:58:41,973 --> 00:58:46,933 Speaker 19: employ engineers to build phenomenal machinery within that factory to 1199 00:58:47,213 --> 00:58:51,693 Speaker 19: create glorious little chocolate, different ones, and you know, lovely 1200 00:58:51,933 --> 00:58:54,333 Speaker 19: wrapping and a beautiful box at the end that all 1201 00:58:54,373 --> 00:58:57,493 Speaker 19: the chocolates fitted into. He had to pay the workers 1202 00:58:57,893 --> 00:59:00,733 Speaker 19: or the employees in Africa. He had to play the 1203 00:59:00,853 --> 00:59:04,813 Speaker 19: ship man with all of his container loads of huge cocoa. 1204 00:59:06,173 --> 00:59:09,933 Speaker 19: You know this common true name. And so I worked out, 1205 00:59:10,013 --> 00:59:14,613 Speaker 19: and then eventually after about ten or fifteen years, over 1206 00:59:14,693 --> 00:59:20,053 Speaker 19: those years, he paid hundreds of people employment wages so 1207 00:59:20,173 --> 00:59:24,493 Speaker 19: that those people they were very benefited. They actually had 1208 00:59:24,533 --> 00:59:27,213 Speaker 19: a life because they worked for someone and that he 1209 00:59:27,373 --> 00:59:29,693 Speaker 19: paid them a wage. But he had borrowed that money, 1210 00:59:30,093 --> 00:59:32,773 Speaker 19: so he had stress on his mind, he has to 1211 00:59:32,813 --> 00:59:35,213 Speaker 19: pay this money back and find this is a real 1212 00:59:35,573 --> 00:59:38,813 Speaker 19: true story. And then after ten or fifteen years, he 1213 00:59:39,093 --> 00:59:42,013 Speaker 19: finally got over all of the bills that he had 1214 00:59:42,053 --> 00:59:44,293 Speaker 19: to pay and all of the loans he had made, 1215 00:59:45,013 --> 00:59:47,493 Speaker 19: and all of the lives that he had given life 1216 00:59:47,573 --> 00:59:50,133 Speaker 19: to because they worked for him and he paid them away. 1217 00:59:50,733 --> 00:59:53,653 Speaker 19: He finally started to make a profit after ten or 1218 00:59:53,693 --> 00:59:57,013 Speaker 19: fifteen years, and in my heart, I thought, I'm so 1219 00:59:57,213 --> 00:59:59,973 Speaker 19: glad you're making a profit. And are you a billionaire? Now, 1220 01:00:00,213 --> 01:00:03,293 Speaker 19: I'm so glad you are because you had a dream. 1221 01:00:03,973 --> 01:00:05,973 Speaker 19: You took a lot of people on board with you 1222 01:00:06,373 --> 01:00:09,853 Speaker 19: with your dream. They helped the your dream, and you 1223 01:00:10,653 --> 01:00:13,933 Speaker 19: paid them a wage all the time.

And I'd just like to I'd like 1296 01:03:54,893 --> 01:03:59,093 Speaker 9: to clarify from the reasonable left wing in this country, 1297 01:03:59,133 --> 01:04:01,453 Speaker 9: which doesn't include the Green Party or to Party, Marty, 1298 01:04:01,493 --> 01:04:06,173 Speaker 9: I'd like to confirm you hear. Yeah, there's still the 1299 01:04:06,253 --> 01:04:09,013 Speaker 9: reasonable left in this country. And when we say redistribution, 1300 01:04:09,813 --> 01:04:13,213 Speaker 9: nobody is talking about going into your bank account and 1301 01:04:13,333 --> 01:04:16,573 Speaker 9: giving it to someone down the road. That's theft. Well, 1302 01:04:16,693 --> 01:04:19,533 Speaker 9: everyone admits that theft, and no one thinks. 1303 01:04:19,293 --> 01:04:21,653 Speaker 2: Well, I mean, but I mean that that sort of 1304 01:04:21,693 --> 01:04:23,253 Speaker 2: does that, I mean, that's kind of what taxes though 1305 01:04:23,333 --> 01:04:24,733 Speaker 2: isn't it to a certain extent, and we will. 1306 01:04:24,693 --> 01:04:27,373 Speaker 9: Of course, yeah, of course looking to a libertarianism, you know, 1307 01:04:27,653 --> 01:04:31,693 Speaker 9: from there, from there with you man. But in this country, 1308 01:04:32,733 --> 01:04:36,293 Speaker 9: most of the capital which needs to be in the economy, 1309 01:04:36,333 --> 01:04:39,373 Speaker 9: the argument is that it's held in property and it's 1310 01:04:39,453 --> 01:04:43,053 Speaker 9: not being used. Yep, that's the argument. The argument is 1311 01:04:43,093 --> 01:04:46,613 Speaker 9: that it's stagnant capital, and so redistributing it doesn't mean 1312 01:04:46,693 --> 01:04:49,573 Speaker 9: redistributing it to poor people. I mean redistributing it to peoplehere. 1313 01:04:49,573 --> 01:04:52,213 Speaker 9: They're going to use it and build businesses instead of 1314 01:04:52,253 --> 01:04:53,253 Speaker 9: buying three houses. 1315 01:04:53,893 --> 01:04:59,413 Speaker 2: Right, So just redistributed into the stock market, redistributed into 1316 01:05:00,813 --> 01:05:05,373 Speaker 2: starting businesses and trying trying other stuff rather than property 1317 01:05:05,453 --> 01:05:05,933 Speaker 2: to make money. 1318 01:05:06,853 --> 01:05:09,453 Speaker 9: Well, yes, and that doesn't necessarily I mean government businesses. 1319 01:05:09,693 --> 01:05:11,813 Speaker 9: It just means our country is too small to have 1320 01:05:11,933 --> 01:05:15,413 Speaker 9: an economy built on property ownership and houses. 1321 01:05:15,773 --> 01:05:16,453 Speaker 1: We're too small. 1322 01:05:16,493 --> 01:05:18,853 Speaker 3: We have our eggs and multiple baskets. You're quite right, 1323 01:05:18,893 --> 01:05:21,173 Speaker 3: and I think there's many I think Liam Dan wrote 1324 01:05:21,173 --> 01:05:22,613 Speaker 3: a piece about we've got a lot of our wealth 1325 01:05:22,653 --> 01:05:23,453 Speaker 3: tied up in property. 1326 01:05:23,933 --> 01:05:26,933 Speaker 2: The problem is that no one has the It's very 1327 01:05:27,053 --> 01:05:30,773 Speaker 2: hard for people to you know, once you've gone down 1328 01:05:30,853 --> 01:05:35,253 Speaker 2: a track, Jacob, that we have and people have invested, 1329 01:05:35,293 --> 01:05:38,733 Speaker 2: and maybe the settings were set wrong quite a long 1330 01:05:38,773 --> 01:05:40,733 Speaker 2: time ago. And I know people talk about that stock 1331 01:05:40,773 --> 01:05:44,853 Speaker 2: market crash in the late eighties that and you know, 1332 01:05:44,933 --> 01:05:46,893 Speaker 2: the whole of the country everyone was investing in the 1333 01:05:46,893 --> 01:05:48,653 Speaker 2: stock market and then it crashed, and then the whole 1334 01:05:48,653 --> 01:05:53,253 Speaker 2: country got a collective fear of investing outside of property. 1335 01:05:53,733 --> 01:05:56,253 Speaker 2: So once those decisions have made been made, and we've 1336 01:05:56,613 --> 01:05:59,053 Speaker 2: we've gone this far down the path that we are, 1337 01:05:59,653 --> 01:06:04,013 Speaker 2: and we may need imagine a major writing and that 1338 01:06:04,133 --> 01:06:06,933 Speaker 2: writing might happen whether we want it or not. But 1339 01:06:07,053 --> 01:06:09,213 Speaker 2: it's hard to do it without pain, isn't it. And 1340 01:06:09,893 --> 01:06:13,013 Speaker 2: that and that pain will be felt at the you know, 1341 01:06:13,173 --> 01:06:15,773 Speaker 2: at the ballot box, anyone that tries to do it exactly. 1342 01:06:16,133 --> 01:06:18,573 Speaker 9: Well, yeah, and when it gets that the New Zealand 1343 01:06:18,613 --> 01:06:21,493 Speaker 9: feeling of egoitarians was really strong, like we really care 1344 01:06:21,533 --> 01:06:23,853 Speaker 9: about equality, Yeah, we do. And no one wants to 1345 01:06:23,973 --> 01:06:28,173 Speaker 9: take away someone's money that they've worked hard for, right 1346 01:06:28,253 --> 01:06:30,773 Speaker 9: because it's not fair. It's just blatantly not fair. Yeah, 1347 01:06:30,853 --> 01:06:33,973 Speaker 9: But I think we can also recognize that. You know, 1348 01:06:34,013 --> 01:06:36,493 Speaker 9: I hate to bleep my own case for a minute, 1349 01:06:36,493 --> 01:06:39,493 Speaker 9: but I work forty hours a week, and unless I 1350 01:06:39,613 --> 01:06:41,853 Speaker 9: find a partner who also works forty hours a week 1351 01:06:41,893 --> 01:06:43,653 Speaker 9: in a pretty decent job, I have no hope in 1352 01:06:43,733 --> 01:06:45,573 Speaker 9: hell of owning one bit of earth in this country. 1353 01:06:47,653 --> 01:06:49,853 Speaker 2: I mean, where do you where? Where do you want 1354 01:06:49,893 --> 01:06:50,173 Speaker 2: to live? 1355 01:06:51,173 --> 01:06:53,213 Speaker 9: I even hawks may, I've got no plans for moving. 1356 01:06:53,413 --> 01:06:56,413 Speaker 2: Yeah, it's just that because it was recently, because I 1357 01:06:56,493 --> 01:06:59,013 Speaker 2: interviewed someone recently that said that two people on Oh 1358 01:06:59,133 --> 01:07:01,453 Speaker 2: you're saying you need a partner, but yeah, two people 1359 01:07:01,493 --> 01:07:07,413 Speaker 2: on the waves can buy can buy a townhouse for example, 1360 01:07:07,453 --> 01:07:07,773 Speaker 2: you know what I. 1361 01:07:07,813 --> 01:07:11,013 Speaker 9: Mean, requils with two people. Yeah, and that's fine, that's 1362 01:07:11,053 --> 01:07:13,053 Speaker 9: great as it is, like we're lucky to have in 1363 01:07:13,133 --> 01:07:16,533 Speaker 9: that position that that's available. But I also think in 1364 01:07:16,653 --> 01:07:18,853 Speaker 9: the spirit of Krewe fairness and being able to give 1365 01:07:18,853 --> 01:07:22,013 Speaker 9: it a go, anyone should really be able to. And 1366 01:07:22,213 --> 01:07:25,573 Speaker 9: the problem is is that good people. They are good people, 1367 01:07:25,653 --> 01:07:27,493 Speaker 9: And I don't want to misconstrue what I'm saying. They 1368 01:07:27,533 --> 01:07:29,573 Speaker 9: are good people that even though they are holding two 1369 01:07:29,693 --> 01:07:32,533 Speaker 9: or three or four or five houses, they're good people 1370 01:07:32,573 --> 01:07:34,373 Speaker 9: and they're not bastards. That doesn't mean they want to 1371 01:07:35,053 --> 01:07:38,333 Speaker 9: make everyone poor. But I don't think they realize the 1372 01:07:38,453 --> 01:07:40,693 Speaker 9: damage they're doing to their children's generation. 1373 01:07:41,013 --> 01:07:41,333 Speaker 2: That's all. 1374 01:07:41,773 --> 01:07:43,653 Speaker 9: That's all I think. I don't think they realize the 1375 01:07:43,773 --> 01:07:44,653 Speaker 9: damage that they're doing. 1376 01:07:45,133 --> 01:07:49,733 Speaker 2: Yeah, well, thank you for calling, Jacob, and well well 1377 01:07:49,773 --> 01:07:50,813 Speaker 2: presented of your opinion. 1378 01:07:50,973 --> 01:07:53,613 Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, nicely said.

Can 1381 01:07:58,493 --> 01:08:01,293 Speaker 3: you hear your thoughts on how you view billionaires? There's 1382 01:08:01,293 --> 01:08:04,213 Speaker 3: a lot of pushback on billionaires. Nine to nine to 1383 01:08:04,333 --> 01:08:05,213 Speaker 3: is the text number as well. 1384 01:08:06,533 --> 01:08:09,613 Speaker 1: Have a chat with the lads on eighty ten eighty 1385 01:08:09,893 --> 01:08:12,853 Speaker 1: mad Heathen Taylor Adams afternoons news talks. 1386 01:08:12,853 --> 01:08:14,653 Speaker 3: That'd be it as fourteen to three. 1387 01:08:14,853 --> 01:08:17,933 Speaker 2: So I said to George rather churlishly, if you're going 1388 01:08:17,973 --> 01:08:21,213 Speaker 2: to hassle my numbers seeing your numbers, you did, and George, 1389 01:08:21,412 --> 01:08:23,652 Speaker 2: to his credit, has sent his numbers in. Yes. Around 1390 01:08:24,253 --> 01:08:25,452 Speaker 2: what tax brackets pay? 1391 01:08:26,173 --> 01:08:26,452 Speaker 15: You know what? 1392 01:08:26,652 --> 01:08:30,173 Speaker 2: What earners in this country pay? What share of the tax? 1393 01:08:31,013 --> 01:08:34,052 Speaker 2: So income tax year. Based on ID data and Treasury 1394 01:08:34,093 --> 01:08:37,452 Speaker 2: distribution reports, the top ten percent of individual earners in 1395 01:08:37,532 --> 01:08:40,412 Speaker 2: New Zealand pay about fifty percent of all income tax 1396 01:08:40,452 --> 01:08:42,372 Speaker 2: collected in New Zealand. So the top ten percent pay 1397 01:08:42,492 --> 01:08:44,652 Speaker 2: half of all the tax pretty much, forty five percent 1398 01:08:44,732 --> 01:08:47,893 Speaker 2: to fifty percent. This means for every one dollar of 1399 01:08:47,973 --> 01:08:50,932 Speaker 2: income tax collected, roughly fifty cents comes from the top 1400 01:08:51,013 --> 01:08:54,812 Speaker 2: ten percent. The top two percent contribute about seventeen to 1401 01:08:54,973 --> 01:08:58,253 Speaker 2: twenty percent of all the income tax. The bottom forty 1402 01:08:58,293 --> 01:09:01,452 Speaker 2: percent of earners contribute less than ten percent of income tax. Jesse, 1403 01:09:01,492 --> 01:09:04,253 Speaker 2: he makes everyone pay tax, but income tax burden is 1404 01:09:04,452 --> 01:09:08,652 Speaker 2: heavily carried by the top earners. Yeah, and that's why 1405 01:09:08,692 --> 01:09:11,852 Speaker 2: it's a little, you know, like this whole push that 1406 01:09:12,253 --> 01:09:15,053 Speaker 2: the reason why you aren't doing well is because that 1407 01:09:16,412 --> 01:09:18,213 Speaker 2: the people are doing well in the top percent are 1408 01:09:18,253 --> 01:09:22,652 Speaker 2: greedy as a pretty hard cell. I know, it's sort 1409 01:09:22,652 --> 01:09:26,133 Speaker 2: of a divide and conquer us versus them kind of 1410 01:09:28,053 --> 01:09:32,372 Speaker 2: political politics of division, and you know, you blame these 1411 01:09:32,412 --> 01:09:35,812 Speaker 2: other people in society because for what's happening. But you've 1412 01:09:35,853 --> 01:09:38,412 Speaker 2: got to say, if the top ten percent are paying 1413 01:09:38,772 --> 01:09:43,013 Speaker 2: fifty percent of the tax, then they are already doing 1414 01:09:43,053 --> 01:09:46,732 Speaker 2: their part, and you are already taxing the absolute but 1415 01:09:46,853 --> 01:09:49,253 Speaker 2: Jesus out of them if you're already if you also 1416 01:09:49,333 --> 01:09:52,973 Speaker 2: include GSD in the situation, so you know. 1417 01:09:53,293 --> 01:09:56,492 Speaker 3: You're right. And if I'm trying to put my you know, 1418 01:09:56,612 --> 01:09:59,213 Speaker 3: feet in the in the shoes of people who say 1419 01:09:59,293 --> 01:10:01,733 Speaker 3: that billionaires are the problem and we need to redistribute 1420 01:10:01,732 --> 01:10:03,372 Speaker 3: the wealth, I think they feel that the deck is 1421 01:10:03,372 --> 01:10:04,173 Speaker 3: stacked against them. 1422 01:10:04,213 --> 01:10:04,333 Speaker 7: You know. 1423 01:10:04,492 --> 01:10:06,933 Speaker 3: Jacob mentioned that he couldn't get into a property. So 1424 01:10:07,053 --> 01:10:10,212 Speaker 3: there's a whole generation there that feel that the system 1425 01:10:10,572 --> 01:10:14,933 Speaker 3: is tilted towards those at the top, or older generations, 1426 01:10:14,973 --> 01:10:16,452 Speaker 3: and they feel like they're missing out. 1427 01:10:17,013 --> 01:10:17,973 Speaker 2: Whether I agree with. 1428 01:10:18,013 --> 01:10:20,772 Speaker 3: That, I don't know if I do. There's always a 1429 01:10:20,812 --> 01:10:22,852 Speaker 3: little bit of luck involved in life, and people who 1430 01:10:23,492 --> 01:10:25,173 Speaker 3: work hard and get to the top, and we talk 1431 01:10:25,213 --> 01:10:27,532 Speaker 3: about the billionaires who have been successful, but we always 1432 01:10:27,532 --> 01:10:30,253 Speaker 3: forget about the thousands and tens of thousands of people 1433 01:10:30,412 --> 01:10:32,972 Speaker 3: who could have been billionaires but for whatever reason saidly 1434 01:10:33,013 --> 01:10:33,892 Speaker 3: didn't get to that point. 1435 01:10:34,053 --> 01:10:36,892 Speaker 2: It's survival bias, isn't it. You go that this person's 1436 01:10:36,893 --> 01:10:40,213 Speaker 2: a billionaire because they got there and they always were. 1437 01:10:40,572 --> 01:10:43,372 Speaker 2: But for everyone that got lucky, there are so many 1438 01:10:43,452 --> 01:10:48,253 Speaker 2: that risked it all and ended up with absolutely nothing. 1439 01:10:49,093 --> 01:10:53,253 Speaker 2: So in any kind of economy do we need is 1440 01:10:53,452 --> 01:10:57,972 Speaker 2: the reward of the potential of being a billionaire? Such 1441 01:10:58,013 --> 01:11:01,093 Speaker 2: a big carrot that people are willing to do these 1442 01:11:01,133 --> 01:11:05,932 Speaker 2: big gambles and risk it all and potentially create incredible businesses. 1443 01:11:06,452 --> 01:11:09,133 Speaker 2: Do we need a massive carrot? And then when if 1444 01:11:09,173 --> 01:11:11,053 Speaker 2: you take that carroat away and say, well, there's a 1445 01:11:11,133 --> 01:11:13,492 Speaker 2: ceiling and I don't know who decides that ceiling of 1446 01:11:13,692 --> 01:11:15,772 Speaker 2: how rich you are? Yeah, you know, we decide that 1447 01:11:15,812 --> 01:11:17,572 Speaker 2: amount you're allowed to get to. If we say that, 1448 01:11:17,692 --> 01:11:21,293 Speaker 2: as then do are people going to take less crazy risks? 1449 01:11:21,492 --> 01:11:21,692 Speaker 6: Yeah? 1450 01:11:21,893 --> 01:11:24,173 Speaker 3: Yeah, that innovation and motivations. 1451 01:11:23,652 --> 01:11:26,692 Speaker 2: Because you need you need people taking risks for an 1452 01:11:26,692 --> 01:11:29,732 Speaker 2: economy to grow. Absolutely, don't you need the insane risk 1453 01:11:29,812 --> 01:11:34,092 Speaker 2: takers and probably one in a thousand of them become believable. 1454 01:11:34,213 --> 01:11:36,293 Speaker 3: Well, poet, it is ten to three back in a mow, 1455 01:11:36,492 --> 01:11:37,533 Speaker 3: one in a million. 1456 01:11:39,053 --> 01:11:41,412 Speaker 1: The issues that affect you, and a bit of fun 1457 01:11:41,492 --> 01:11:44,972 Speaker 1: along the way. Matt Heath and Tyler Adams Afternoons News 1458 01:11:45,093 --> 01:11:45,852 Speaker 1: Talks EDB. 1459 01:11:47,053 --> 01:11:51,133 Speaker 3: News Talks EDB.

People on a wage doing huge hours 1465 01:12:04,652 --> 01:12:07,412 Speaker 3: are among those top earners, but are nowhere close to 1466 01:12:07,492 --> 01:12:09,893 Speaker 3: being able to live with out paying closer attention to 1467 01:12:09,933 --> 01:12:12,093 Speaker 3: where their money is going to. The issue is more 1468 01:12:12,133 --> 01:12:14,053 Speaker 3: with those top five percent in the amount of texts 1469 01:12:14,093 --> 01:12:16,852 Speaker 3: they managed to avoid compared to the bulk wage earners. 1470 01:12:17,412 --> 01:12:19,772 Speaker 2: Thank you for that text. This text says, why do 1471 01:12:19,812 --> 01:12:22,053 Speaker 2: you keep talking about luck with reference to billionaires? I 1472 01:12:22,133 --> 01:12:24,612 Speaker 2: find the harder I work and plan, the lucky I 1473 01:12:24,732 --> 01:12:28,813 Speaker 2: am in your world, never mind the hard works, taking sacrifices, 1474 01:12:28,893 --> 01:12:31,293 Speaker 2: sleepless nights to get there. Yeah, but I mean there's 1475 01:12:31,692 --> 01:12:34,772 Speaker 2: also definitely luck because you can work really really hard 1476 01:12:34,853 --> 01:12:38,213 Speaker 2: and come up with a fantastic idea, but the exact 1477 01:12:38,333 --> 01:12:40,133 Speaker 2: right brand name doesn't come to you at the time, 1478 01:12:40,213 --> 01:12:42,093 Speaker 2: and some it does to someone else.

So you know I 1512 01:14:30,013 --> 01:14:32,133 Speaker 18: do pay a lot of tax. But that also means 1513 01:14:32,173 --> 01:14:35,532 Speaker 18: that I earn a lot. And so you know people 1514 01:14:35,572 --> 01:14:38,892 Speaker 18: who say, oh, you know, just agree, Well, okay, you're 1515 01:14:39,572 --> 01:14:44,412 Speaker 18: this jealousy.
