 The working class is the creative class: the working class produces what material wealth exists in a country. And while power is not in their hands, while the working class allows power to remain in the hands of the landlords who exploit them, in the hands of the speculators, in the hands of the monopolies, in the hands of foreign and national interest groups, while armaments are in the hands of those in the service of these interest groups and not in their own hands, the working class will be forced to lead a miserable existence no matter how many crumbs those interest groups should let fall from their banquet table. While the country is getting more expensive, the cost of living is going up. Bertie tells us we may have to tighten those belts as times get a little harder. Well maybe for us peasants we might need to tighten our belts, but for you Bertie the only belt you need to tighten is the one around your wallet to stop all that cash from squeezing out. It seem with all the wealth generated with the Celtic Tiger that everybody has alot more money. Thats true all right. The rich are getting extremely wealthy and the poor have a bit more money but with rising costs of living theres not much difference for the poor. The rising cost of living only effects the lower classes but the rich dont even notice. A bag of chips cost €2.30 now, so the saying as cheap as chips is out the door now unless your wealthy. |

"Im pissed of with how the Irish people are being treated by our government"
And I'm pissed off with having to live with the results of their stupid voting choices for the next five years. Fuck the general public they are thick as pigshit!! all they care about is buying shite, Big Brother and paris hiltons bony ass. Giving 'em a vote is like giving a dog a hammer.
Stop talking about the working classes like they are some deeply wise and all knowing but powerless political and world affairs analysts who are just biding their time. The fact is they are largely dumb assholes who have trouble adding up their grocery bill and using the vcr. And the Elite classes KNOW this and indeed RELY on it to get re-elected to carry on looting the place. GAIA help us all,
