Wealth and Fat Cats

In a recent Oxfam report (of all organisations now we're relying on Oxfam for reliable data) entitled Working For The Few - Political capture and economic inequality, exposed is what only can be called "obscene" wealth. And guess who comes second (second that is only to the US and it's social failure)....... yep folks, it's good old Australia. Yep, Australia is a world fuckin leader in income inequality. Our system has suffered the same failure as the US. The system itself skews wealth to the very rich whilst impoverishing the rest of the community. It's a failed experiment, in Australia as well as the US. 

On top of that we now have the capitalist attack dog Tony fuckin Abbott as our glorious fuckin leader. Oh FFS! Could it get any worse than this darlings? The TPP barbarians are at the door! Will we all end up in some sort of mindless drone utopia? Where all we need is a flat screen telly to be brainwashed by the corporate media? A semblance of online freedom? A society where we're all under surveillance? Where corporations control what we think and buy? .... We're already just about there.

How much longer can the west go on like this? To borrow a phrase from the Abbott gov, this is "unsustainable". The logical conclusion is that in the end we'll be a nation of surfs controlled by a few ruling elite corporations. Somewhere along the way surely society will raise up and protest the slavery being imposed on them.
