Howard - you can judge that from the results over 11 years so there is considerable evidence for what I say.
Chris. Do you actually know what 'the rich' do with their money? I do, I advise many people who you might regard as wealthy (and others not so rich) on what to do with it. You are wrong. Perhaps you think they tuck it under the bed....
I stand fully by what I say. Remember we had much greater social mobility under the 18 years of Conservative rule than under the last 11 years.
People who have money, invest and save, are responsible for themselves and their family and who stand on their own two feet are the bedrock of our society. They are also far more likely to vote Conservative. I want everyone to be like that and professionally I help many people to work towards that (everyone starts somewhere...) I know a little about economics and family finance, Labour policies are guaranteed to achieve one thing, through handouts they lock people in to poverty.
The minimum wage eliminates wage competition in creating a norm. Also keeping the wages of the low skilled low is an oversupply of cheap labour thanks to this Governments open door to mass immigration.
The greatest enemy of the poor is the Labour Party, who often with only the best of intentions, damage the economy through excessive tax and spend and damage the capacity of the less well off to improve their circumstances.
