All it means is a stage of capitalism in which the financial markets were deregulated, public services privatised, welfare systems run down, laws to protect working people dismantled, and unions cast as the enemy.
And if the Tories get in again, in some shape or form, it will continue apace.
For hundreds of years the Tories have ruled for the richest 1% and since universal suffrage they have constantly found a significant chunk of the country willing to be conned into voting for them.
Same here two Joe hockey talks all the time about how he needs to sort out the tax system as people are paying half their money in tax . What he neglects to mention is it is less than .2% of the country who pay that level tax.
But if you are in the top 1% and you are representing the top 1% and your media pals are in the top 1% then all you need is to try to con people into believing they can get there early too.
Why should anyone pay half of their money in Tax , it's obscene.
The biggest con trick by any Government is that the amount we pay in Tax is fair and they know best how to spend it.
