what is the lowest class,adam,..the thing with the tories is they cant tell the difference between the owt for nowt and the working class man who cant find a job because of whatever,is everyone on benefits a chav or are they out of work through no fault of their own due to the greed of many a corporation..the greed of this government,the greed of the shareholders who must be fed at the expence of the working man,are you a working man adam or a ceo,
By 'the lowest class' I mean this new 'non-working class' who seem to think getting a job and earning your money is an option - a legitimate alternative to be to 'not work' and sit around living off those who do.
Jobcentre staff seem to class this 'non-working class' as anyone who walks in through the door of the jobcentre, but the government can easily see at a glance who has never worked, who has been out of work for more than a couple of years, or these NEETS we hear so much about.
Labour's solution to this seemed to be to move many of them onto long term incapacity benefit, which may have made the figures look a bit better but did nothing to address the problem, in fact it made it worse because there was no incentive to look for work, only an incentive to breed for the extra benefits. You might say they 'gave up' on these people.
Whether you like it or not, corporations provide a lot of jobs for 'normal' people like you and me. Yes the shareholders at the company I work for are probably stinking rich, but I don't begrudge them, because without them I wouldn't have a job. Similarly our customers are stinking rich and again, without them I wouldn't have a job.
Of course I would love to have that kind of money, which is something to aspire to.
Simply taxing the rich has been tried before - these are the people who have the means to up sticks and relocate to somewhere with lower taxes. If this means also relocating their business to save a few quid then I doubt they would lose much sleep over it, although it will mean transferring jobs out of the UK.
