Exactly, in the UK rich bankers, speculators and hedge fund gurus rolled the dice once too much and came up with craps thus causing the economic meltdown.
Who is now being told they have to pay to repair the damage caused by the meltdown? Single parents, physically and mentally disabled people, people on low wages etc.
I know a broken single man who is now a mentally impaired alcoholic who is terminally ill with irreversible liver damage. Government assessors classed him as “fit for work” and suspended all his welfare until he found a job. He needs carers in 4 times a day everyday for help with basic tasks and he will probably be dead within the next 3 or 4 months but the government said he was “fit for work”.
What penalties did the banks and bankers get? None, in fact they were given billions of taxpayers money to “bail them out”. And now the Conservative lead coalition government are giving the super rich tax cuts while at the same time slashing welfare and public services.
Its like they are saying to poor people “you better hope and pray the banks and bankers don't fuck up again! Because you will paying for it if they do!”
