Let battle commence. `The Workers United will never be defeated`. We will all suffer if the argument carries on between `private` and public` sector workers. The rich scum are getting richer and we are being made to pay for there greed. The only question we should ask these parasites, is whether they want a blindfold or not. If we do not stick tgether it could be YOU next.

How did I know this thread would degenerate into absurd claims that the private sector pays for the public sector as if every public sector job would not exist if everyone was to be employed by the private sector. Would we opt for the American highly cost-effective solution to health care? That hugely profitable industry with small numbers of executives whose shares are worth billions on the back of illness. Some people may argue that's an extreme example - after all most people in this country do genuinely want the NHS, but any industry or company in the private sector will pursue higher profit for themselves and their shareholders. True, they may well may make things more efficient and get rid of employees who are surplus to requirements in pursuit of it but will that money go back in your pocket? Fuck no. It goes to make the rich richer. I'd choose the option that employs more people myself. Not only do I believe it is better for society to have more people in work than on the dole or on disability but it is also far harder for them to escape taxation than someone who has an army of accountants setting up offshore accounts and legions of subsidiaries. Even worse though is to have private companies working with public money because they'll waste it under the correct assumption that the government will be there to bail them out with more.
even karl marx didnt believe in work for all...socialism doesnt work 70+_ years of the USSR and 100million lives proved it didnt
