What Have We Come To?

I am all for doing work and when called for doing hard work and going that extra mile to deliver a gold star service. I despise those who sponge off the state and have a better standard of living just because they are work-shy and lazy. Who is to blame? The State for giving such outlandish handouts or the people who adjust their lifestyles to suit the System? Both probably. Its sucks the majority of our taxes to pay for it.

But are they so stupid? Lets face it, they are given a house, free this-that-and-the-other, money for food and and living expenses and who knows what else.

In some respects the hard working people are the stupid as we are treated like modern day slaves, paid insulting amounts, have to fund our own accommodation and living expenses and contribute to the rising Tax Bill.

The greed of the senior management and business owners shows no bounds and it has become normal in today’s society to cream off huge salaries and bonuses to create this top heavy style of living.

Its seems fine to cram eight hours work into a six hour working day but charge ten hours to the customer and this is achieved by bullying, harassment, cut-backs and immorality. Is it really justified to pay an employee twenty thousand a year but reward the boss two million? That equates to two employees working a lifetime for one years pay and this seems fair and just.

Are we only good for one thing, to line the pockets of the already wealthy class with no regard for health, lifestyle, living standards and morality? Are we just things to wear out and throw away when broken like an old machine or tool? Our Victorian forebears fought long and hard to narrow the divide between the boss and worker and this has now all been washed away and ignored. I am convinced the only reason the work-house is not re-introduced is because there is no space left to build them.

Work the middle classes, tax them in every way possible, leave no room for aspiration and herd them like sheep to a taxed grave. Ha Ha Ha….we have you and own you.

The two extremes of our community are not that far apart. On the one hand there are the ones that are happy to take the ballooning Welfare Payments so they can remain at home and come and go as they please and on the other we see the “rich” pleased to use the skills of the employee to line their pockets so they can enjoy the lavish playgrounds beyond the normal dream. The only difference between the two ends of society are the venues and vistas.

Unfortunately most of us have to wallow in the middle of the quagmire which becomes increasingly difficult to sustain a normal existence.

So either grow thick skin, lie, cheat, bugger, be corrupt and corruptible or take the moral road to justification and sleep easy.

The only other option is to become a dog or cat or not think about it.
