Football is better than watching someone doing the books, so it's fair.
I'm talking about what's fair in terms of people getting what they morally deserve, independent of what they actually get because of how the economic system works. In other words, I'm saying the economic system is not set up properly when the rewards differ by so much for what is the same amount of effort.
If a giant suitcase with £3m inside falls out of the sky into my garden, and a smaller one with £30k falls into my neighbor's garden, then neither of us did anything to deserve the bigger or smaller suitcase; one just got lucky relative to the other. It's the same with A and B; one had the stars line up genetically and other didn't. In that sense, I have no problem with saying 'ok A you got £3m you lucky bastard, let's have a big chunk of that and spread it around a bit.'
