  • Mr Strauss-Kahn then bemoaned “a large and growing chasm between rich and poor—especially within countries”. He argued that inequitable distribution of wealth could “wear down the social fabric”. He added: “More unequal countries have worse social indicators, a poorer human-development record, and higher degrees of economic insecurity and anxiety.”
  • The income of the wealthiest 20% of Americans rose 14% during the 1970s, when the income of the poorest fifth rose 9%. In the 1990s the income of the richest fifth rose 27% while that of the poorest fifth went up only 10%.

  • Conversely, if the jobless total rises by Easter, inflation edges above 4% and consumers save rather than spend, Labour will be able to say that it is the coalition that has messed things up, killing off growth with its ill-timed and harsh austerity programme.

  • Overall the rise in VAT is likely to cause higher inflation, reduced GDP growth and some job losses in 2011 and into 2012 - so some deterioration in three microeconomic indicators at the expense of improved government finances. But in the long term a 20% VAT rate is unlikely to have any noticeable effect on UK competitiveness and growth. The long-term trend GDP is driven by supply side factors such as technological progress, working age population growth, improved work and enterprise incentives and the scale and quality of capital investment spending).

  • First, the poor must have savings, and as I show, they don’t. Second, they must have access to borrowing, and as I show, they don’t (except for doorstep lenders). Third, the consumption patterns of the rich must be the same as the poor, and they’re not. In fact, the consumption patterns of the rich (for school frees, private health, leisure travel, second homes and financial services products) are all VAT free, unlike the consumption patterns of the poorest.
