Just like the Tears for Fears song 'Everybody wants to rule the world' and that's it really.

When is enough? Only you can answer that. Do you want a slice of the pie so as there's enough to go around or do you want it all, making you greedy in the process and looking like a complete idiot.

For these people it's not so much the numerical value of their fortune but the fact it keeps going up. Line goes up. It demonstrates his financial skill, or that he's divinely favoured, or whatever. I believe it's the Protestant Work Ethic at, err... work. Before you say Dan is from a Catholic country, Bohemia was a hotbed of the Reformation. Alternatively, as the industrial revolution began in Northwestern Europe a secularised version of this concept was spread across the globe alongside the technology.

If you have a lot of money you have to find somewhere to invest it.
Daniel seems to like the postal sector. (Football, groceries, media)

I am not sure where he has said he wants to bleed the company dry.
The societies of consumption and squandering of material resources are incompatible with the idea of economic growth and a clean planet.

Are these people really worth the figures that get put about? The question is what are the working class going to do to get their money back?

Call it what you like but the reality is it's stolen from the working class.

He got a twofer deal, so he`s now trying to get the less profitable bit(RM) up to the level of the GLS bit, but that`s a £5m up to £222m. Sorry Dan. That`s not going to happen overnight, however awful you get your managers to be to the humble postie, the company`s greatest asset, lest you forget.

When was it the Working Classes' money?
Is this the classic cliche so beloved of some on the Left, that I have no money because the Duke of Westminster has it all?

I wanted to remind 5th in the list I sense buying RM and investing in West Ham aren't two of the best decisions I could make?

As far as RM is concerned getting any profits from them is going to take both some effort and several years, perhaps DK just looks a challenge!!
