Ok The government announces that everyone in the UK will now earn 300 quid a week, even those on the Dole Que, 80% of people i guess would be happy but why should the other 20% that are currently earning more than that continue to work in the UK?

Do you have any thoughts on why they should?

I think most people work for monetary gain, as you need money to exist in a capitalist society.

Then you get in to communism and it hasn't worked on a large scale to date.
