We live in a capitalist society, ruler by capitalist
governments.....red and blue.

Dont look so surprised if people like Mrs Thatcher work in the interests of the capitalist system, Blair and brown did the same.
Crumbs from the rich mans table.....or trickle down economics is their mantra for the poor.Actually we are all to blame for being in thrall to consumerism, and being so afraid to lose our little store of money and possesions.

God!   can you please send us someone to explain to these pillocks what is really important in this life?

But wait!

The people is a beast of muddy brain.
Its own are all things between earth and heaven;
But this it knows not; and if one arise
To tell this truth, it kills him unforgiven! T C.
