Would the fact Australia came in fourth for attrracting millionaires to emmigrate help or hinder wealth inequality
Interesting that the UK stands out as well ahead of anyone else, more than double the next highest (USA).
I wonder if that's because it's easier to move there? Or some other reason?

The United Kingdom offers an attractive tax regime for those individuals who are resident in the UK but do not have UK domicile, such individuals are often referred to as ‘resident non-doms’.
An individual who fulfils the criteria, and who has foreign income and/or foreign capital gains, can elect to be taxed in the UK on the advantageous remittance basis of taxation. Under this scheme the individual can elect to pay a fixed annual charge, currently £30,000 or £50,000, known as the remittance basis charge.
The Pew Research Center is out with a new report on the growth of the global middle class that, if you're not the sort of person who lives to ponder foreign development or how to sell sneakers in China, is mostly interesting because of how it puts America's incredibly high standards of living into a bit of perspective. Here's the stat that jumped out at me most: As of 2011, only 16 percent of the world lived on the equivalent of at least $20 a day, the cutoff for "upper-middle income." In the United States, Pew notes, the poverty line works out to just under $16 per day for each member of the household.
"those people who live outside the city"
Fact is Australia is no longer a western country, we are an Asian country now and with that comes the wealth inequality and corruption of Asia. I won't be surprised if in a few decades white Australians are mostly confined to ghettos suburbs on the cities fringe and in rural areas. They'll be much poorer than the Asian/Indian city workers who have access to Asian education and work experience, so they'll come over here with experience and education that locals cannot access.
The question of Australians as an interest group will be referred to as "those people who live outside the city" and won't be given much of a thought. We'll be a minority group to the international Asian community who use Australia for various purposes.

Like those indigenous?

I wouldn't know. I've never done anything to any indigenous person, in fact coming from a foreigner, that is actually a very racist argument. I could talk about the atrocities committed by many immigrant races, but I do not, as that would be racist.
Seriously White people... I know a large part of you guys are neglected and doesn't seem to get the life and hope the previous generation seem to have... But it's not the fault of the immigrants, Asian or otherwise.
The only reason no recent immigrant complaint about Australia is because no matter how bad they have it, no matter how many hours they have to work to make ends meet, it's paradise compare to where they came from. They're not, not complaining because they took all the welfare and feed off of society and grow fat and rich.
Take a look at the tax policies each year... read up a couple of "indepth" analysis and see who it always benefit more - you or the guy with a few millions or couple hundred millions? You think new immigrants working at Seven-11 could afford a $20,000 fundraising plate? You seriously think a bunch of, mostly White guys, in Parliament have more in common and more sympathy for non-White poor people? If they'd care for anyone more, you'd have a better chance they'd care for White poor people more for no other reason than ey, blood is thicker than...
And man, do you seriously think a multi-millionaire Asian from, say China, would have anything in common with a common Aussie Asian serving them at some city restaurant? They might like the same food, but one can afford it and the other might have to do with instant noodle after work.
Not saying rich people are bad and poor are good. Just that race have little to do with it and money have a lot to do with a lot of things - including sending your kids to what school and what friends they make.
You don't know history. Most Australians descend from the scum of England, where workers were oppressed by the middle class and came to places like Australia and the USA and made for themselves a better life than the horrors of the British Isles.
This is not some magical fairy land of entitlement. Australia is the way Australia is because of a series of decisions made by people in our early history who came from the old world and didn't want Australia to turn out just like that.
Middle class people are pricks. They're the main political force that call for the crushing of the working class. The ruling elite would never have the numbers in a democracy to do that.

There was no middle class in Britain at that time.
Complete horse****. The tradesman business owners and skilled workers of the time kept the young down. They were forced to sell themselves into slavery in places like the USA and also in Canada and the UK too.
The only reason the UK never had a brutal revolution past the civil war was exactly because the middle class liked things the way they were.
