What you all seem to ignore, is that regardless of which set of politicians are in power, we have become uncompetitive and the system unsustainable.

So few contributing to the pot and so many eating from it.

We have been encouraged to think that capitalism would keep producing growth for ever and we were willing listeners....still are, going by the posts on this thread.

I think we should all know by now that there is no such thing as a free lunch...capitalism has failed just as communism/socialism failed .....but for very different reasons

Time to ditch the politics and get back to reality.
