Moi! Marxist! Shakermaker? I don’t think so.

I would just ask – who is the most important person/employee of any business?
The owner/shareholders?
The board of Directors?
The management team?
The departmental heads?
The production workers?
The stores staff?
The canteen staff?
The cleaners?
I would suggest that it is a team and remove any group and there is no product to make and sell and thus create the wealth for them to share.

I’m not suggesting that everyone in a business should be paid the same because those who have studied hard for a qualification deserve a higher salary than those who haven’t. But non-the-less the workers on the shop floor who actually create the wealth by producing the product that is sold get a raw deal. To add insult to injury not only does senior management award themselves a higher pay rise than the rest, but it is done on a percentage basis. Thus the lowest paid will get a small cash rise whilst those at the top will get a much larger cash rise.

Price increases are the same for everyone be they someone who is unemployed or a company director.

In a nutshell those who control the wealth creation have first crack at grabbing as much as they can get away with and they do without a thought for those who do the actual work. They are left to scrabble over a pittance.

It is an indictment of the system that a person in full time work can still qualify for Housing and Council Tax Benefits.

Yes I am fond of having a dig at the rich bullseyebarb because they have their snouts in the trough long before anyone else can get near AND the greedy pigs control when that can happen and also control how long the rest can stay at the trough.

If free market capitalism is the bees knees then tell that to the millions, yes millions that don’t even have clean water to drink let alone enough food to eat. Free market capitalism is a euphemism for greed.

The old adage of “The rich get richer and the poor get poorer” is more true to day than it ever was.
