Thread Name: BS: posh folk shouldn't make the laws.
Subject: RE: BS: posh folk shouldn't make the laws.
Ah - OK. Gotcha now, Al. It's people with money that should not make laws then. Not posh people? Yes? Sounds fair enough to me. We would not let paedophiles draft child care legislation nor let burglers design property protection laws. Why should people with money make laws that allow the rich to become richer. Is that the gist?

The only issue I would have with it that I do not believe it is monied people who make the laws is it? In my own simplistic mind it is politicians who do that. And who elects the politicians? Don't get me wrong. I agree with your argument. I am a stalwart socialist at heart. I am also a realist though and understand that WHOEVER gets the power will bend it to their own ends. Call me an old cynic but remember that whoever you vote for, the government always gets in!

Cheers
