Kevin O'Leary, an investor on the US version of Dragons' Den, Shark Tank, was shockingly upbeat about the world's poor during a TV interview this week.Acceptable responses to an Oxfam report stating that the world's 85 richest people hold the same amount of wealth as it's 3.5 billion poorest include 'shocking', 'despicable' and 'probably ought to do something about that'.But not for businessman O'Leary, who responded during US show The Lang and O'Leary Exchange: "It's fantastic, and this is a great thing because it inspires everybody, gets them motivation to look up to the one per cent and say, 'I want to become one of those people, I'm going to fight hard to get up to the top.
Workers should have no illusions, this is the rhetoric of the 1% and although some 1%ers like George Soros and Bono express concern (sincere or otherwise), workers should stop listening to the 1% and ask themselves what their interests are. The problem is not that capitalists are nasty or deluded, and that capitalists should be nice, respectful and sincere, the problem is capitalism per se.
