On second thoughts, the government is quite aware of the inequality. Just indisposed to do anything about it.

It's only 30 of them. There are a lot more millionaires in the country than you might think. For example, if you add up all of my assets: property, pension, ISA, I just about creep over the line.

Indeed so. But they are talking about the ones with above 3.6 million - 1% of the population.

Unfortunately, I'm only a millionaire on paper. I can't sell my house because I need to live in it. Dinner and a show will have to wait.

It wasn't my point that millionaires shouldn't pay more tax. I was just saying that it is only a tiny minority of them arguing that they should.
