    I'd agree, bit of a crapper for the worthless.

    You do realise that most toffs and rich folk would view you and yours as worthless don't you:confused: They would happily see you starve if the worst comes to the worst.
  • Public sector workers can look forward to working as hard and as long as private sector workers, and being grateful for the tax revenue they receive from those of us that actually produce wealth, which allows them to be employed to begin with. And not before time.

    Can't imagine you produce much wealth, you spend all your time on the net:rotfl:You really shouldn't mistake debt for wealth McTavish it will land you in lots of bover.

    I think it was in one of the Michael Moore films where George Bush was talking to a woman who held down 3 jobs to support her family. And everyone clapped! So, let me get this right - it's a good thing that a woman has to work likely 70-80 hours a week just to get by?

    Same mentality here. Oh if we all work hard, we'll be ok - what a sham :rolleyes:

    And the gap between the rich and the poor just keeps getting wider in the US

    But hey "You just keep working harder" and keep blaming the chavs for your plight. You couldn't make it up:rolleyes:

    In the UK we call this 'socialism'. Stealing from the poor to give to the rich.

    According to the video I linked to it was the longer a thread becomes, the closer the probablility that someone will be called a Nazi or compared to Hitler decomes to 1.

    I think I prefer your definition however.

    It's not rocket science that if you work hard, you should have the money that you have made to spend. Why should you work hard, pay lots of taxes and give it away to those who can choose not to work?

    Why should I work hard and pay my taxes whilst rich people don't pay taxes and contribute nothing? Why do they get to keep their money in off shore bank accounts and pay a fortune to tax accountants to make sure they avoid paying tax whilst the rest of don't? They don't call them the "Idle Rich" for nothing.

    Stop picking on the little guy.
