"When the going gets tough, the tough call for close air support."

I completely understand the point of social welfare, however, when implemented is rarely done on a 'real' case by case basis and by that I mean if you act a certain way, you can get benefits. Politicians are only interested in % figures and to be honest I would rather Jill next door get £100 a week benefits while working a cash in hand job than Mr. Biznizman not paying taxes on the £1b he's made in this country.
There is another fallacy here too, which is always brought up by both cons and labour (mainly Labour), which is to focus attention on the rich to super rich and how their billions could pay for this that and the other.
The problem, as I see it, is; What should the limit on wealth be? How do you control that? Once you've taken their wealth away, which is just wealth and not actually money in the bank, what do you do when you've used it all up?
By my calculations, the top 100 richest people don't even come up to half the debt of the uk, at around £750B. Unless I'm missing something, that would not solve a lot of problems in the long term.
