Tax Avoidance Protesters - why are they all so middle class?


Recommended Posts

Actually, the thing that would help is if you were able to spell Hypocrisy, which is what Wednesday1 was highlighting.

 

Oh I see, you are the forum's spelling pedant. I had noticed that in the past. I'll try to be more careful in future.

 

Of course the problem with being a spelling pedant is that you need to make sure you yourself aren't guilty...

 

It ain't going to happen overnight, regardless of what US neo-conservatives would have you believe.

 

Gradual change is the best option, coupled with waryness about the chances of the Mubarak regime being replaced by something that actually turns out worse!

 

Just what does WARYNESS mean?

Just what does WARYNESS mean?

 

http://www.answers.com/topic/wariness

 

The quality or state of being wary; care to foresee and guard against evil; cautiousness.

 

It's a quality you might need when you've used already cut and pasted the word in the same post!

 

Can't compete with the Labour Party for rif-raf I'm afraid.

Labour MP who branded middle class ‘hypocrites and drunkards’ spends night in a cell after being arrested for drink driving

 

You really can't beat the Labour Party for hypocracy. I suppose that's where you get it from.

Oh I see. You meant WARINESS not WARYNESS. So you are giving the definition of a different word.

 

Perhaps you should check out you own faults before you point the finger at others. Its good you know how to spell hypocricy, because it's a word that applies to you.

By the way could you translate this rant into English?

After watching the news, we have more and more protest groups such as UK Tax Uncut, and they all appear to have the same kinds of people in them.

 

Namely very posh and middle class. We have just seen a woman on newsnight saying "oy think its disgasting that boots are rather avoiding tax... what what"

 

We also seem to see some very well dressed student types looking like they are having a fun day out causing mayhem in legitimate businesses, smashing windows and swearing at the Shop Supervisor

 

Oddly, you never see any Jeremy Kyle Show types protesting about tax avoidance. On the marches with cans of stella and a staffy on a lead

 

So why have these middle class hoyty toyty suddenly found their voices? do they not realise that the working class had been completely shafted by New Labour while they were in office? higher taxes and lower wages have left many workers completely out of pocket.

 

Is it a case of "Oh Thatchers party is back in, lets go on the Rampage"

 

would it have anything to do with the fact that they may not pay tax so of course they won't be protesting!

We are quite happy thank you very much,we did well with education, went to Uni and had good jobs. I am now retired and pay too much tax on my pension. I now have to cut down on my wine bill by approx 30%.

What is the point of working your socks off if you can't enjoy your retirement in peace and tranquility.:confused:

I'll tell you why mate, it's the same reason they bankrolled the Nazi party and enabled a genocidal madman to kill millions of people. The only thing they care about is money. And if the price they pay for stopping Socialists is the support for a Nazi they will do it gladly.

 

They hate the working class pal make no mistake about that. They think we are scum. And in their hearts they are loving the fact that (their) side namely the businesses and corporations are destroying democracy. They want us touching our forelock and saying "morning Sir".

 

They are soulless, and an enemy to freedom for the normal people of this country.

You do appreciate that Nazi stands for National German Socialist Workers Party.

I presume that was a joke. So its not about the content of the concepts, it's all in the name! So if I call myself the "Sunshine and flowers party" and go around killing people flowers and sunshine are clearly implicated?

 

Centralised statism with a tyrant for a head isn't Socialism I'm afraid.

 

Real Marxism does not deal with banks or their interests or their henchmen. National Socialism is about as Socialist as the Federal Reserve in the U.S is a Federal Bank i.e not at all.
