Having paid into what's so obviously a gigantic Ponzi swindle, I suppose nobody should be surprised that the swindle's administrators are running short of payers in and so have to do something to ration the goings out.<br /><br />I have worked all my life with the exception of a few weeks when made redundant from a company forced into liquidation by bank greed. It seems to me that the more I put into this stinking system, the less I'll ever get out. Grrrrr.<br /><br />I can't be the only mid-50's person who is feeling cheated and so very angry. It won't be long before there's an almighty kick aimed at "The Establishment" by so many disenfranchised and disenchanted people.BulloPillnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3271194216217582823.post-57667755883506907762012-12-03T15:58:31.155+00:002012-12-03T15:58:31.155+00:00Basically what I reckon we're seeing right now...Basically what I reckon we're seeing right now is the last few gasps of a dying system. Fiat money is the poison; combine this with giving politicians the sole responsibility for administering the financial system and you have a recipe for a disaster.<br /><br />Politicians, you see, are only any good at being politicians (yeah, stating the stark bleeding obvious here, but bear with me). Politicians exist to do great works, make great decisions and to spend money extravagantly to woo voters. Unfortunately 99% of the time nowadays we don't actually need politicians; the bulk of the time what we actually need are barely sentient bureaucrats. 99% of the administration of the country is dry as dust, boring as infinity.<br /><br />Politicians aren't good at boring; indeed boring is the very antithesis to politics. Thus it is that politicians seem to go out of their way to make interesting that which ought to be flat, boring and uneventful. Running a country and a financial system should be boring and utterly uneventful, and really ought to be mostly machine-run. Non-sentient machines don't get bored, and don't ask for wages or pensions. <br /><br />Instead what we're seeing is a never-ending series of manufactured events and catastrophes, which require more and more money to fix, which politicians have to get from somewhere. They've sold much of our gold, flogged off the nation's infrastructure and try now to tax everything that moves and are hitting the Laffer Curve bigtime now, so the only way politicians can increase the tax-take is to hit the one class of voters who have no voice at all: future ones.<br /><br />This is the folly of permitting politicians control of a monetary system: they borrow hugely then create more money to induce inflation and inflate away these debts. This then robs everyone who holds fiat money as the interest rates fail to meet inflation. Right now buying gold and silver is the best policy as fiat currency is dying on its feet.Danhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02618328278732100203noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3271194216217582823.post-74813656318294360962012-12-03T15:54:07.693+00:002012-12-03T15:54:07.693+00:00A seriously good post CR.

Stable background in as much as lived in one place all my childhood (N. London council house). Paid taxes too. No pension plans, only state - £120 pw, of which council (government) claw back chunks through reduced housing allowance; reduced council tax benefits, and as state pension is seen as 'income' by HMRC - probably reduced tax credits that my wife receives as she is still working full time. We still live in rented accommodation, but get by mostly by being frugal and careful with money - no debts.<br /><br />Note: If you pay NI stamp, the limit for doing so to ensure pension requirements has dropped from 43yrs down to IIRC 33. Don't give them any more than you need to. I’d love to tell them stuff their council tax, but in all honesty haven’t got the bottle – though I do give them grief. Be an awkward fucker, but look after family and friends (at least the ones you get on with and can trust!).<br /><br />Government know how to spend your money? (well it ain’t theirs) Yes they certainly do – and not on you.<br /><br />Ian Tomlinson’s death (bless him) woke me up somewhat late in life to the injustices controlling us, and I’ve been encouraged ever since by all that I’ve read through blogs like this. Keep it up. When will the masses rise up? Possibly never. We are born of generations of surfs. But knowledge is power, and the more it’s shared the more fearful do those enslaving us become.<br /><br />Watch your health, you can lose it so quickly. My hips have suddenly become seriously debilitating. Reality shock.<br /><br />Citizen? Subject? No thanks. I stand as myself.<br /><br />Charity? With our income, it starts and ends in the home.
