A quote from up thread
"the system we have is fundamentally based on exploitation, on paying people less in wages than they produce in value.
Secondly, that those who have, have what they have on the basis of that exploitation. And on older acts of enclosure of things that once belonged to all (like natural resources).
Thirdly, that there exists an ideology of work designed to obscure this and to peddle the nonsense notion that those who work hard get on by their own merits and not by exploitation.
Fourthly, that on this basis the split between those two things the rich are getting richer. And richer. And richer.
Fifthly, that there is diminishing marginal utility to wealth. £10 when you're on benefits is the difference between starving and having food. £10 to a millionnaire makes very little difference at all."
One other well made point - your pension funds are managed by people allowed to cream off a lot in inflated salaries.
Pension rules have been changed for the 50+ and women were hit hardest by this. No-one is safe from further changes. Don't expect a welfare state to support you when you cant work, we are already forcing people in poor health to food banks and labelling them scroungers.
Tory economics doesn't work. Take money from the poor to give to the rich and less is spent in this country supporting our economy - and generating tax income. Give money to the poor and it stays in your local economy. Under Thatcher the country suffered, it is suffering again now. Austerity doesn't work but Tories are very good at obscuring that with lies and half truths.
Want to do something to change this - vote against the Tories in any election.
