The system we are in duty to seems to be developing masters that have engineered the system to be less about taxing wealth, and more about taxing the wages of labour. What we are seeing is the wealthiest ostracise themselves behind high hedges of electric money, whilst the salaried, highest proportioned tax payer, middle, strives for that same security of wealth, and all the while, the poorest, the unhealthiest, and the most uneducated, are being blamed for being a drain on their public services due to the conditions they find themselves in, thanks to the gross and greedy mismanagement shown by our political masters. We have people applying to go on the first mission to Mars, we have the know how, and the money to do it, but back here, on earth, wee lovely, lush, green, wet n windy Earth, we cannot, in an embarrassingly wealthy country, look after our poorest fairly and without prejudice, or pay our hard working people a LIVING WAGE. I wonder how many of the big charity administrators, who are helping themselves to huge dollops of money, that the poorest have donated to try to help our least well off, or needy, are former pupils of the top public schools? How many of them, on their jaunts around the world, no doubt flying business class, are also setting up trade and property networks for their Harrovian and Etonian buddys back home? From our present political system, to banking/stockbroking, to the print and digital media, to broadcasting, to large private enterprise, this country is being manipulated to profit and enrich a small elite, and they are gaining more and more power over us, which seems only successful in serving them well. The rise of Boris Johnson should send shivers down all our spines. In his Wealth of Nations, Adam Smith wrote Masters are always and everywhere in a sort of tacit, but constant and uniform, combination, not to raise the wages of labour above their actual rate. Masters, too, sometimes enter into particular combinations to sink the wages of labour even below this rate. These are always conducted with the utmost silence and secrecy till the moment of execution; and when the workmen yield, as they sometimes do without resistance, though severely felt by them, they are never heard of by other people. Sound familiar?
