Capitalism: Are working class conservatives retarded?

Capitalism = pounds over people, dollars over denizens. Capitalism worships the god of money, it treats people like disposable objects, objects to be exploited, manipulated and finally thrown away like an old rag doll in order to make more money.

One thing that pisses me off about limited companies is that they can make a very healthy profit, but still deem it necessary to make “efficiency savings” (redundancies to those of us that don’t speak bullshit) if that level of profit is slightly less than the year before. Remember, these are not companies making a loss (far from it), these are companies that have just made £850million instead of £900million. When the fat cat shareholders get a slightly reduced dividend (a dividend which 98% of the nation would drool at the thought of), they are outraged and look at ways to maximise profit, which normally comes at the expense of both the customer and the honest, hard-working people busting a gut to line these peoples’ pockets.

“Obama, a president who would represent the interests of the people, not that of the corporations.”

And Liberals (or what Europeans I believe call social democrats) are duped into believing this. Democrats and Republicans are two sides of the same capitalist coin.

firstly, bush wasnt voted in twice-he rigged it, helped by fox tv and his brother, who was governer of the state that ‘accidentally’ miscounted their votes. unreal. every government, from britain to usa, from spain to italy are corrupt, money grabbing lying bastards. we have been shown this as a race time and time and time again. however, we seem to forget this at polling time, and proceed to hope that the next bunch of pricks will be better. then seem shocked that they are not…why? as a nation, we should ALL refuse to vote, it is the only way in which we shall communicate to these lying parasite fucks that we are not happy, fed up of being conned and want something better, filled with honesty and transparancy. these fuckers are in place to work for us, but only appear to work for themselves-we, as humans, are being fucked up the arse by our governments in such a fashion that our anus makes the channel tunnel look like a pilot hole left by a woodworm. fuck the system, dont vote….ever.

Just another quick addition after the government’s recent ‘fair’ spending cuts…..right, lets break this down. The banks were granted carte blanche to provide credit to anyone (one just needs to examine the case of freddie mack and fannie mae, providing mortgages in the USA to trailer park families for $250,000 homes that they would never, ever be able to adhere to once the payments increased after the initial five year ‘holiday’ period) whilst taking huge risks in hedge funds and other financial packages. Inevitably, the system crashed globally (though noteably some countries, whom didnt take these risks, like Canada, were less affected) and the banks were provided with taxpayers money in order to stay in business. Now, with the banks back to profitable business(anyone wonder why the banks, using taxpayers money to reinstate themselves, then upped their rates for mortgages and loans etc, to recover their loses? Remember, this is our money they are loaning back to us!), one is confused why the government is making cuts that directly impacts on the British taxpayer? Should it not be the banks that are repaying the billions that borrowed, thus enabling the government to repay the debts they have incurred by borrowing from other countries? If not, should the British taxpayer not be receiving dividends as ‘shareholders’ from the banks due to their profitable outcomes in the tax year? Has anyone heard any information at all relating to the banks paying back the money that they ‘borrowed’? As a carpenter, these cuts include the budget for building getting heavily slashed, with ten thousand construction workers in Scotland alone predicted to be out of work within the year. One presumes that these workers shall claim job seekers allowance- is this not a vicious cirle? One also presumes that the government, having made the benefits system so rigid now, shall make it difficult for said workers to claim and assistance as the government have stated that they shall slash benefits paid. And this is even before one takes into account the effects on the public sector, expected to lose up to 490,000 workers-where will they go? From the pensions scheme, which is now worthless, to immigration(the government sends money back to Poland for worker’s children, whom they don’t even know for sure exist!) and now spending cuts which shall cripple this country, the manner in which this country has been ran over the past 15 years is nothing short of scandalous. These so-called politicians should be charged with fraud and theft(especially after the expenses claims, and what happened to those MP’s? How did they manage to get Legal Aid? What was their punishment? Especially Mr Eric Joyce, Falkirk’s MP, who swindled the taxpayer out of half a million over 4 years, flying himself to Kent to see his children, and his children to Falkirk, and also his chaffeur service due to losing his license through drink driving), with Mr Blair being charged with genocide. Be interesting to see what comes out of the investigation into the alleged ‘suicide’ of Dr Kelly prior to the Iraq war-another coverup no doubt. These parasites literally get away with murder. Civil war, rebel yeah. I am leaving the country, I shall leave the extra taxes and difficult times to the sheep of this country, whilst watching from afar the government still creaming ever penny from the people, like they always have, and reading how the banks are still making record profits. Fucking scum.

Are working class Conservatives retarded?
Isn’t that a bit insulting to the people that, as a sort of socialist, you presumably at least like or want to win over to your cause?
Maybe working class people like having freedom, like the system that gave them a job, and like being able to buy the stuff they want?
