Simon Cowell earned £ 61 000 000 in the last year. Does he deserve it ?

[EDS]

What's that go to do with it?

He "earns" that money by his business activity. It has nothing to do with whether he deserves it or the situation others find themselves in.

Personally I just think it is wrong, he is nowhere near the worst either. When one man is allowed to have fifty billion+ then there is something seriously wrong somewhere. I dont know the answer either I just think it is wrong

Well I will put it another way, I would not be allowed to drive without road tax, smoke a bit of weed, watch tv without a license....you should get my drift by now. But I would be allowed to have 50 billion while children are starving in the world.

So in the case of Simon Cowell when he got to a certain level of success people would by law refuse to buy his products or he would not be allowed to watch anymore shows? As I said before he is not forcing anyone to buy the tripe he sells but legally he is allowed to offer it

BINGO

Simon Cowell is a glowing testament to the stupidity and poor taste of the public at large. He deserves every penny he earns, every pap photo, every tabloid headline and every barb handed him by intelligent writers. If you don't like it don't give him publicity and don't watch his shite.

I really do not know to be honest, as I said I do not know the answers. Maybe a rate of tax that goes as high as 90% on obscene amounts of money. I really do not know, I do not know much about the world of high finance but I do know when something is wrong

He does he shags loads of Hotties and when he is fed up with them gives them a mansion to keep them quiet.

You are ****ing joking,check out "when Luis met Max Clifford"

 

[Wilko]

why is it obscene? what amount does he deserve?

and if you had a cap, what incentive to do more, to create more to build anything bigger or better? didnt they try it somewhere, how did it work out?

What a delightful world we live in where people think the only incentive to do more is to earn more for yourself. Jeez.

Perhaps he could think, the more I earn, the more I can give to charity. Just a thought.

just realisitic. of course theres more to creating wealth than just earning more for yourself, as you point out prehaps to give to charity or create jobs, build up companies and industries. still need to earn the money to do all that, a cap is placing a limitation, preventing those aspirations. the better. you *could* put all the effort and creativtly in and then just give it to the government to allocate for you, they are supposed to be good at that, right?

 

[pauli cee]

Is anyone on here ACTUALLY STARVING? I'm talking needing to walk 12 miles for clean water, losing members of your family to famine.

I am bloody hungry to be fair, might order a curry........

 

[SeagullSongs]

Yes. All those drones watching X Factor spending their money voting on who they like most (or least) are donating to the genius of Simon Cowell.

Earn ?

How did he "earn " it ?

He labours not, neither does he spin.

 

[Justice]

It was not that long ago he was bankrupt good luck to him.

 

[Harry H]

Now he's just morally bankrupt.
