Government is supposed to serve the needs of its people...
















.... Not protect the needs of the corperation's. Big industries should be responsible for themselves, and if they are going bankrupt the government should let them! If an individual is in trouble they get punished and learn from their mistakes, well most of the time! On the other hand big businesses get handouts from the government i.e the taxpayer, and they just go on with their lives and feel free to make the same mistakes, because they will always get help. While the average Joe is forced to deal with increasing food and energy prices and we're subjected to even more taxes.


A friend always replies with, " you get that everywhere" and " historically it is always the case". For one thing, you don't get it everywhere, and even if that's true, that doesn't excuse the fact that it's unethical and just plain WRONG! And for her second point, in the past I'm sure it's happened, but are we not suppose to be moving forward not harking back to the past?! And what just made me chuckle a bit inside was how she said about how Ancient Civilizations didn't leave us anything!! Do you recall the Roman Empire to focus on one, who gave us roads, taught us how to farm and not to forget the beautiful buildings that are still standing after 3000 years, building now don't even last a year before the begin to crumble!
I mean how can this government criticise anyone else and believe that there moralities are true. When has it ever been right to make people choose between energy or food? Believe me it's getting to that point sooner than you think.


What do they think will happen when people get desperate?? They'll steal, so the crime rate will soar because people have no other way of getting thing, and we do live in a society where people are surrounded by advert and celebrities saying that we MUST have these items, and people who have been condition for years to have all these things, what do you think will happen when they realise they can't get the same luxury items they used to get?? Civil disorder, and we know this is a country that looks down its nose on any kind of rebellion, and if anyone dares, that's it they get 5 years in jail for stealing trainers, but the bankers who have stole billions get a slap on the wrist and are still able to go to the South of France for a vacation, while we're told to stay here and help save the economy! Give me a break, they talk about the economy as it should have it's own charity advert!, " give £2 a month so the economy has some food". Answer me this, when the economy was doing well did we get an increase in pay/ benefit did the taxes started to relax...No! So why in the hell should we give a damm about the economy??
And to further explain taxes they aren't just something working people pay, even unemployed people pay taxes on clothes, dvds the trains to name but a few, and what is with the train tickets, they have been going up after every 6 months and the trains are still late, packed, dirty and loud. It is now £12.10 to take the train to London and many people I know commute to work, so what do you think will happen to the economy if they can't?! Our transport system is a joke!
