Moral maze of extreme wealth

OTHER than our beloved Queen, how can anyone genuinely 
and honestly deserve the exorbitant, almost immoral, weekly wage of £300,000 – the figure commanded by, and paid to, Wayne Rooney?

I have never doubted his immense ability to play 
football, but his talents are limited to this particular sport, unlike so many who provide 
a much greater and more unselfish service to the world 
in general.

WHY is it unknown for the very rich to go on strike? Are they not allowed to ask for increases in their wage or better working conditions?

I AM no great admirer of Ed Miliband and Ed Balls et al (Red Ed’s failed socialist policies offer nothing to Britain, Yorkshire Post, February 5), but I have little sympathy for those who have written bewailing the prospect 
of a five per cent rise in the 
top rate of income tax for well-heeled millionaires, many of whom threaten to exact 
revenge by taking themselves 
and their cash to tax havens overseas.

Such individuals are clearly 
the direct descendents of 
those wealthy “patriots” who, when this country faced the threat of invasion during the Second World War, fled to the USA and Canada.
