If they can destroy one class effectively, they can then start to lower the wages of those above them, with the unspoken but inferred idea that if you don't work for less, or work more for the same wages, you can lose your job and take pot luck with all the poor at the bottom. It's 3rd world economics and social structire. Basically a tiny powerful and very rich elite who control the police army media etc, a small humbled Middle class with no political power and living in fear of their jobs so don't rock the boat, and millions of low paid expendable people at the bottom. I can't help thinking of 'Animal Farm' to be honest.T-Childshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14973808285834438472noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6128062592045784724.post-43760801474053889142013-09-30T14:33:56.246+01:002013-09-30T14:33:56.246+01:00Having lectured for many years on 19thC novels, to...Having lectured for many years on 19thC novels, to see this government seeming to wish to re-enact that culture is heartbreaking to me. So many who comment on 'workshy/scroungers' do not seem to realise that if that tranche of society is eliminated then the next layer will be become at risk. In a patriarchal society there is no need for a fair working wage for the lower orders because they will have to accept gratefully the largesse of the rich.<br />Elizanniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15968498385486949779noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6128062592045784724.post-49790087272244092882013-09-30T14:14:28.578+01:002013-09-30T14:14:28.578+01:00It gets worse and worse.

There is also this to think about for anyone working who feels by doing this they tackling the workshy, the scroungers etc: if they can get people to do jobs for free, many of those same workers may find themselves out of a job. Be careful what you wish for. It's now class war, and nothing more. T-Childshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14973808285834438472noreply@blogger.com
