"So Jim , you think that pensIoners who have small investments in order to provide for themselves in later years are the "haves""
There really is more at stake than that at the present time.
"The poor pensioners" are always dragged out as an excuse for leaving things as they are - crocodile tears.
What about the poor pensioners on the breadline whose spending power is reducing because of corporate greed and bankers over-indulgence - or the people who have lost their homes because of being conned by the capitalist dream - or the near two million on the dole - or the workers who have lost security of employment under this shower of charlatans......
I suggest you look and the rapidly growing gap between the haves and the have nots in Britain today, and then come back and tell us this system is working for the good of us all.
Its not yet more tinkering with a worn-out engine that's needed, but a new car with a new driver travelling in a different direction altogether.
