Can there be any doubt that since these basta@ds got into govt they and their business mates have launched a co-ordinated vicious war on the 99% whilst preparing the ground to stick their snouts ever more deeply into the trough.  Their attacks on worker pay and conditions and on benefits for the poor and disadvantaged have been relentless whilst at the same time reducing the tax rate for corps and announcing their intention to reduce the tax rate for small business, and again, all being done whilst repeatedly calling for virtually every facet of workers pay and conditions to be cut.  That Abbott speech in Davros brought it out into the open. They've unsheathed their knives and that murderous mob is heading our way.

For a group of pollies who said before the election that the blame game would stop and they would be fully responsible for what happens after they were elected they sure spend a lot of time demonising and blaming as many people as they can.

And remember they also said they intended to govern for all . Turns out what they meant was raid the store for their mates and assault the rest

And this is one of their foot soldiers.  Literally does not stop calling for cuts to wages conditions, and benefits and continually justifies and calls for tax cuts and tax handout for him and his mates and increases in the GST and Online trading for the rest of us.  If you doubt that the is on just go back through his posts and see.

Yes and how often do we see the conalition supporters in this forum saying just that. Acquascoot calls us arrogant to assume that we should be paid at a higher rate an hour then our chinese counterparts. And how many of them leaped in support of Gena's $2 an hour

Ahh yes, expressing contempt for those who have it tougher than you. No prizes for guessing where you line up in all this. 

I think we need to start looking - instead - at the Grappler contention of The Perpetual Civil War between government of all branches, creeds, whatever... and The People As Sovereign... over who actually has the power and the rights in this Country and whose interests should rightly be upheld as Sovereign.... and every other.

It's a simple proposition really - every genuine upward movement in rights and conditions for ALL has been a grass-roots one - Charles Dickens notwithstanding - and built on the courage of the disadvantaged and the poor who are by no means stupid or unintelligent, just lacking in opportunity.

We are currently - and have been for over thirty years - in the Reactionary Phase of Social Evolution - a reaction to the apparent prosperity of the masses, which is deemed life-threatening to government itself by government itself alone - and this has been shown clearly by the desperate finnagling of the governing classes to disempower and disadvantage The People as much as possible.

Hence the policies of off-shoring and so forth from both sides of 'government', as well as a raft of social issues dredged up and turned into weapons of war by other means using 'law' as their launch pad, accompanied by endless jihads about how some with 'accredited victim status' are so disadvantaged and beaten down that we 'need' to beat down everyone else to give them a chance in life and society.  Feminism is but one example of this phenomenon.

It's all mist for the grill and business as usual - and all part of the endless striving of government for total control (Uberkontrol) over all facets of society and the individuals in it through a Reign of Terror, active impoverishment for dissent, and personal jihad under socio-fascist 'law'.

Oddly, with the impending retirement of 'The Baby Boomer Generation' - the very prosperity wrought by their efforts in many ways both socially and economically to provide a better world for their children than they had - has resulted in generations X Y Z and then back to A (I assume) - who have neither the gorm nor the intellect to actually even see what is going on - let alone the gorm to actually DO anything other than rely on their by now time-honoured 'learned responses from academia' to offer a few words but no action - spitballs against tank armour.... while figuring out how to feather their own nests further despite the doom and poverty for many others.

Somebody Save Private Ryan so he can tell them all the truth.... a generation gone with the wind..... or gone with the mind filled with 'larnin' stuff......

Governments of all ilks (all socio-fascists) have succeeded in their aim of splitting us all against one another in many ways - and you need only look here, in OzPolitic, for the vastly wide range of views from a vastly wide range of social demographics, and the often virulent way they attack one another.

Vote 1 - Grappler for Il Presidente, Benevoent Diktator to the Masses.
