Do you not get really pissed-off listening
to those pretty butterfly people who live in the rarified atmosphere
of the political machine, spouting how the economy is growing faster
than expected? All their meaningless phrases of dropping
unemployment, economic growth, and falling inflation, seem like you
are watching a fantasy movie, something far removed from the real
world that you and I inhabit.
Of those individuals who have come off
the unemployment register, how many are in workfare schemes working
for nothing? How many are on zero hours contracts getting four hours
today, nothing tomorrow, and perhaps twelve hours next week? The
truth is that in this country there are now more people in poverty
and working, than in poverty and not working. While those pretty
butterfly people in expensive suits, go on about the steady growth,
they preside over a country that has more than 3.5 million children
living in poverty, that's 27% of all children in the UK. Of course
poverty isn't spread equally across the country, in some local wards
the child poverty rate varies from 50% to 70%. Your post code will
dictate the quality of your children's lives, no matter what
illusions the political parasites spout. According to new research by
the Joseph Rowntree Foundation, the number of (childless) adults of
working-age in poverty is predicted to rise by over 40% by 2020. It
also shows that the 2020 child poverty targets will be missed and the
number of children in poverty will increase unless drastic action is
taken now.
There is a kind of whoopin' and
haulrin' from our political illusion weavers of the good times just
around the corner, when in fact the whole global economy is tettering
to a grinding halt, with all the attendant misery that this holds for
you and I the ordinary people. Capitalism has succeeded in doing what
it was set up to do, make a few people very, very rich, at the
expense of the vast majority. It was never intended, nor could it
possibly, see to the needs of all the people, they need to be
exploited for that wealth to accumulate in the hands of the parasite
class.
The world is very rich in
resources and skills, yet it is awash with poverty, this is no
accident, nor unavoidable, it is the result of the economic system
that is foisted on us by those who stand to gain the most from that
system. Until we get rid of that exploitative system of greed, we are
heading deeper into a world of deprivation, wars and misery.
This extract from an interesting article on A World To Win:
Read the full article HERE:With demand from emerging economies slowing, prices on the global commodities exchanges are dropping. The price of an ounce of gold – the universal measure of the value of commodities – dropped last year from $1,900 to $1,200.Deflation has another damaging result. The real value and cost of debt actually increases. Highly indebted countries, corporations and individuals around the world had better take note. Talk of a “recovery” is not only premature but entirely ignores what’s really happening in the global economy.
