The more sensible among us realize that Peter has to be robbed to pay Paul

I think everyone knows that we have to pay for everything, Iains, but when Peter is a multi million pound corporation like Amazon and Paul is the sick and needy it is hardly a robbery is it. Just think of it as enforced philantropy.

You have already agreed that the "unfettered capitalism" lining the pockets of the few at the expense of the many is a bad thing. Your solution is to change the political structure. Mine would include changing the way these companies are run. It is here where representatives of the workers can do better. Instead of having an 'us and them' union/management war how about cooperation with workers representatives, shareholders and management at board level. The concience of the company can be provided by labour and the commercial acumen by capitalists.

I don't believe attack is the best way to get disputes resolved. Either in commerce or here! There is a better way and compromise is a two way thing.
