I'm not liking a homeless person to a nurse. I'm trying to compare the football hypothetical situation to something that us regular earners would understand. If a footballer earned 52 millions a year, and a regular person earned 10.4k a year. The footballer was make to give 1% to nurses and the other guy was made to give 1% to the homeless person. That would mean the footballer would be giving away 10 grand a week (seemingly nothing, but would make a huge difference to all the nurses in one hospital). The guy earning 10.4k a year would be giving away 2 quid a week (again, seemingly nothing) and would be able to buy a homeless guy some cheap bread, teabags and a can of beans a week. Now the 2 quid going to the homeless guy is having much more of a benefit than the benefit the nurses would get. But do we do it? No. Plus why would you want to give money to nurses, people who paying jobs when they're people who are out of work.
