Australian outbackHideaway: Rich people are plotting to escape to remote parts of the world Mr Johnson, said the economic situation could soon become intolerable as even in the richest countries inequality was increasing.He said: "People need to know there are possibilities for their children – that they will have the same opportunity as anyone else."There is a wicked feedback loop. Politicians who get more money tend to use it to get more even money."His comments were backed up by Stewart Wallis, executive director of the New Economics Foundation, who when asked about the comments told CNBC Africa: "Getaway cars the airstrips in New Zealand and all that sort of thing, so basically a way to get off. If they can get off, onto another planet, some of them would."He added: "I think the rich are worried and they should be worried. I mean inequality, why does it matter?"Most people have heard the Oxfam statistics that now we’ve got 80, the 80 richest people in the world, having more wealth that the bottom three-point-five billion, and very soon we’ll get a situation where that one percent, one percent of the richest people have more wealth than everybody else, the 99."

    that's exactly what you did though. you saw a paragraph and were able to tell us exactly what it was.

    your assignment for next week is to identify prepositional phrases. good luck

    Shall I explain it to you?

    I'd be happy to since you are having such difficulty understanding.

    There is a need to explain since you completely failed to understand what happened.

    You need additional work. Is English not your first language? I could understand your failure if that is the case.

    Are you seriously implying that the large paragraph in the OP had nothing to do with you saying "lol paragraphs"

    If not, then you have a really weird case of forum Tourette syndrome

    I was not merely identifying one paragraph as you contend.

    You just made a straw man.

    Now, think really hard and try to figure out what I was doing.

    I think you might be able to do it, but I am willing to explain it in full if you fail again.

    Instead of trying to explain something, get to work on those prepositional phrases. They can be tricky.

    Have you figured out where you failed yet?

    Let me know when you realize your failure.

    Oh oooh, can I do it?

    I am going to guess it was a snarky comment about the OP being too lazy to do anything more than a sloppy copy and paste for the article he wanted us all to read, and how it makes him look even more like a lazy than most of us think he is.

    Did I get close?

    the phone wouldn't copy any paste anything without pasting it all and i didn't realize it grabbed that part. you guys always find the gayest little things to latch onto because you can never debate the actual material posted. bunch of leftist shillbots on spurstalk. my intent isn't to convince any of you but to educate the neutral reader who stumbles onto this forum. since i started dropping truth bombs on this site i've been able to convert at least 6 or 7 comrades in our struggle.

    tl;dr keep talking your and thinking that it's telling me. you make my job easier.

    it's obvious to anyone here with a brain that you're here to subvert the free exchange of information. the more you try the more the casual person may actually look into the stuff i post.
