That's not true across the board, and many rich folks absolutely contribute to harmful impacts on society, whether it's profiting off crime, exploiting workers, exploiting resources and polluting, or exploiting consumers with harmful products.
Some never even gained their wealth through hard work.
It should be, which requires resources that the rich have in overabundance.

Wow!
Us Remainers have been saying this for ever... What was it called "Project Fear"
Well done for admitting you were wrong
Twilight Hue
Twilight, not bright nor dark, good nor bad.
Sounds a bit like the aftermath from covid.
She was far worse.
I recall that cruise on yacht Britannia.
Cost of the ticket: 30 pieces of silver.
Estate ‘92: la crociera sul Britannia voluta da sua maestà che privatizzò l’Italia...
One of the traitors had a stroke after that...the evidence that Godly Justice still exists...and by the way I don't think Thatcher and her own kind are in Paradise, right now.

The income tax rate in the UK before Maggie ranged from 33% base rate to 98% marginal.
On average people paid 44% of their income in tax. Now ? The income tax rate now is 20 to 45%. She literally halved the income tax.
Before Thatcher it cost £6 for a bag of coal when the taxpayer already paid £8 to the miners: on top of that it cost another £2 because of the trade unions. £16 for a bag of coal when it could be imported from elsewhere for as little as £3!
The reason our tax was so high was because the unions were holding the country to ransom: they were simply unwilling to work. See the " Winter of Discontent " when people couldn't afford to heat their homes or when the binmen refused to clean the streets
The North of England, Scotland and Wales were already declining and dragging down the Midlands and the South. If you have cancer then you amputate the tumour to save the body.
She won 3 General elections in a row with 43.9% of the total vote in 1979 , 42.4% (27.6% for Labour LOL) in 1983 and 42.2% in 1987.
She kicked the Labour party's behind and it took Tony Blair (and Gordon Brown) moving Labour to the centre in order for them to get re-elected. Honestly, the only reason Labour won in 1997 onwards was because John Major was a crap Prime Minister who was whipped by the EU: Thatcher was ousted by the Europhile Tories. If New Labour isn't 'true' Labour then why couldn't Corbyn (Old Labour) win an election ?
She will be missed dearly
