If I do my job incredibly well, all that happens is that the billionaire who owns EasyJet takes the tiniest fraction of his money, and he gives that to the billionaire who owns me.
And then at the end of the month, that billionaire gives me the tiniest fraction of that money, and I give that to the millionaire who owns my house.
That's the system. Welcome to capitalism. It's a great system.
You get your money from your billionaire, then you've got to pay all of your other billionaires: your energy billionaire, your insurance billionaire, your water billionaire. You've got to make sure your billionaires are paid.
But if you've got money left over, ooh, ooh, ooh- ... that's yours, baby.
You can spend that on whatever you like.
For instance, I like football, so if I've got spare money, I will spend that on football. Um, if you don't know how football works, there's this billionaire- ... but he owns, like, a group of millionaires.
