So many threads/comments on here full of anger and bitterness towards those who claim "too many" benefits/live in SH/have more kids than they can afford etc. etc.
A couple of threads about things like the 11% pay rise for MPs, but very little on the super rich evading tax, big corporations behavingly disgracefully, a tiny elite manipulating political decision making in their own self interest...
Now I know much of the media encourages us to focus on one and not the other, but are people really that blind? Why direct so much anger at those living pretty tough lives? Why believe everything you're told about how much we need austerity, and every story you hear about people "taking advantage" of the benefits system whilst ignoring those making vast profits at the expense of others?
Seriously makes me want to shake people.
