Britain Hating Ideology

[Billy]

Why do you blame the poor buggers that are working a 42 or more hour week for not enough money to actually manage in this country's cost of living! Why are you not blaming the people/companies that display no morals or ethics and are merely exploitative - why are we subsidising peoples pay - could it be private enterprise's fault perhaps for joyfully taking advat the rest of us!antage all the time? Stop blaming the people on the receiving end of these gross injustices and start blaming the rich bastards who are dishing it out nd laughing

 

 

Firstly because I believe in capitalism, and I'm not seeing all these gross injustices. No one ever promised a good life would be easy to attain, so we can and do work to get that, a system that promotes anything else isn't going to be sustainable. Furthermore, I often hear of people 'saving up' their tax credits or receiving back payments etc and paying for holidays or extravagant (relatively) cars with the money. If they were legitimately in need of this money they'd be using it to repay all the debt they amassed 'just getting by' in the interim period without the tax credits.

Billy, did no one tell you capitalism died the day that the public purse bailed out the PRIVATE BANKS??? Until this is sorted everything else is noise, the system has not been fixed and we're all living in a cloud cuckoo land maintained by fiat money printing. But don't let facts stand in the way of personal prejudice, no doubt your grandad walked 50 miles in borrowed boots to vote Conservative...

Do you think the banks should have been allowed to fail? I don't think it's great that they were bailed out but what choice was there? It would have been an awful lot worse.

 

The banks that received money should not have been allowed any profit or profit sharing until loan was paid back imo

Bailing the banks was necessary imo.

 

What wasn't necessary was selling some of the the taxpayers' 80% stake in RBS at a ONE BILLION POUND LOSS so he could pay back his mates in the city.

 

Osborne's ideology is that the state should own as little as possible and that RBS is somehow better off in the hands of the bankers who caused the financial crisis in the first place. If you aren't aware RBS has actually lost all of the £46bn invested by the tax payer anyway, something I don't recall seeing the news that often strangely enough... but they have been allowed to put over a billion of cash away for bonus payments in the past few years.

 

The strategy of selling public assets and funneling the taxpayer cash into millionaires' pockets is pretty much what the Tory party does best. Next stop is the NHS.

 

RBS were also allowed to place a massive tax credit on their balance sheet as an asset basically meaning that they will continue to pay no corporation tax even if they become profitable for several years to come... but that's for another day.

You can read this and get yourself worked up if you want.. Its Britain's projected growth rate over the next 25 years.

Clever video, a prime example of what it is like to race to the bottom.

I would hardly call Obama a socialist.

 

American politics is so ridiculously right-wing they'd probably think the Tories are positively liberal.

I will call him a communist. The rotten apple did not fall far from the tree considering his mother and father were both communist and so was his Kenyan Grand father. Just wondering if you ever spent any time in America or have you ever voted in a U.S. Election or learned anything about the Two primary political parties in the U.S.?.

Perhaps your definition of the words conservative and liberal are different than that of the U.S., however my family from Poland agrees with my opinion about the C and C presently renting out 1600 Pennsylvania Ave.

They should know having lived under and occupied by two similar dictatorships for over 50 years. I believe you would not call the current president of the U.S. a socialist, mainly because you have not lived under a true socialist/communist government. My family has, I have seen the damage first hand done to my country in the last 7+ years. Not pretty, but than again Two political ideas proven to fail every time tried usually looses it luster when the money runs out or citizens wake up and vote for a free government when given the chance.
