What free market? We have been living under pseudo socialism for about 25 years.
Tax credits introduced by labour to subsidize low wages so employers could pay below market wages. While the taxpayer picks up the bill.
Larry Summer (ex banker) actively ignored recommendations to legislate against risky behaviour by banks and we all know what happened after that. We all paid for it while money was siphoned by those at the top.
Countless proxy wars in Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, Ukraine. Who do we think is paying for it? The taxpayer. So that big defence, that continually lobbies every government, can mint it.
While the banks and defence companies are at it, why should big Pharma miss out. A trillion dollars borrowed and printed by this government to pay for Covid. But Pfizer, AZ, J&J etc all did very well out of it.
Hey, let’s not leave big energy producer out. That wouldn’t be fair, would it. More unrest, money printing, taxes to pay people’s energy bills, but whose pay day is it really? Energy producers.
And now back to high interest rates so banks are taken care of. The cycle continues.
Taxes are at an all time high, our debt is out of control - this country borrowed £26bn last month alone to pay interest on debt and benefits. There are 6 million people on universal credit, of which 2 million don’t work at all. And ever decreasing cohort of people paying for it all.
The pigs have been in charge for some
time now and have made it quite clear that some animals are more equal than others.
