My only problem with Hamilton's wage is that he's not paying tax.
He'll tell you how proud he is to be British, but then leave you to pay the taxes.
Well no not really. The world is actually become a far far more dangerous place in the last ten or so years thanks to the actions of our armed forces. There was no 'terrorist' activity in Iraq pre 2003. People in the armed forces follow orders, simple, Tony Blair persuaded parliament, based on a pack of lies, to Invade Iraq.
Look here's what gets me about pay. I'll probably do my weekly supermarket shop tomorrow, the employees in the supermarket like a good few other million round the country will be on minimum wage or just above it. You know what, in my mind somebody who works full time deserves a living wage, but as it is we have millions of people in full time work who claim benefits. So in effect I pay my taxes so that these people can claim benefits. Or if you like I, like a lot of you on this forum, subsidise the rich. Big multi billion pound companies, many of them not paying their corporation tax, then don't bother to pay their hard working staff a decent wage and leave us dumb tax payers to pick up the tab! I mean how focced up is that?
Did somebody mention living in a capitalist society? What capitalism does is screw ordinary people, you could call it if you like socialism for the rich.
