If GG thinks that it is better for people to be able to see the person infront in terms of wages, why did he accept a £100,000+ contract a year with Talksport for this radio show, on top of his MP's salary & Daily Record columnist salary, and Press TV salary?

He earns in excess of £200,000, yet likes to preach to others about how society should be. Whether or not this is a "socialist" society is simply his way of excusing himself for not practising anything he preaches to others. Hypocrite.

You better shut up and don't insult in my videos. What does it have to do the money you make with your ideology? He can defend socialism via taxation. As long as he doesn't avoid taxes, it makes perfect sense. I think the hypocrite here is you.

""You better shut up and don't insult in my videos""

Oh, so you just put videos up, and demand no debate. Wow, that speaks volumes about you.

And what do you mean the hypocrite is me?

GG speaks about how in the perfect society nobody should earn 3x more than the poorest - in order so that we can all be on the same level.

Yet he accepts 100,000's of pounds of wealth, and still claims to represent his constituents and many others.

He doesn't practise what he preaches.

[ignaciosanmon]

I allow debate, but not when your arguments are insults. Now, you didn't answer to my point, taxation can make Galloway not earn more than 3 times the earnings of the poorest person, so that makes perfect sense. Unless you can prove he is avoiding taxes you will have to ammend your words.

[yington]

Look, i'm sure you are able to understand my point. Not once have I implied GG avoids taxes.

I have said that he reckons that people in a proper society shouldn't earn more than 3x the lowest.

So why does he not set an example, given the socialist he says he is?

Yet he has 4 jobs, earning great sums of money, where his wages are the result of pure capitalism.

I can't take someone seriously who preaches against wealth, when they happily earn such a fortune themselves.

[ignaciosanmon]

He doesn't preach against wealth, but against greed. Listen to what he says and not what you want to hear: he sees he's not against people making money,, because he does it. You're point is so stupid...

So you are against this man working? How poor are your arguments. And, again, you can make a lot of money and defend that the state takes money from you to fund services or give it to the poor via taxation, that's what he advocates. Can't you see that's perfectly logic?
