Brian Eno perfectly explains selfishness of the super rich



'If they want to leave the UK, then... off'
This week we met the musician and record producer Brian Eno who told us that super rich people should be happy to pay a bit more tax to make sure many, many more people aren't struggling in poverty. He dismisses the idea that some might leave the country if the government brought in a wealth tax and said most would not even notice it. Mean rich people think more about numbers on a bank balance rather than how they could use it, he suggests.
The Roxy Music co-founder is part of the Patriotic Millionaires group – high profile rich people in support of an extra super tax rich..
Do you agree?

Look out for our upcoming film on the Patriotic Millionaires event on Peeps very soon.
