whats happening to the world it seems everywhere midle class people are getting poorer and wages seem to be getting less and less in touch with inflation rates every day as tecnology advances every day things are suposed to get easyer...but it dosnt does it as it seems life just gets harder and everyone is out to rip you off like banks and the government. isnt it about time we had a very big civel war or somthing and get rid of it all and start again or at least free up some of the money the governments are hoarding like the bank of england an so on ,,, if you work out roughly 50 million people paying there monthly taxes on there wage and pay taxes on everything they buy so that double tax thats over half the uk populations wages goes to the government then work out how much is given to the dole queue and its only a quarter of it and maybe another quarter is spent on the government itself and dont say its spent on britain cos other taxes pay that then wheres the other half go ??????

The middles classes are getting poorer due to globalisation. The only people who's earnings are increasing are the mega rich and the extreme poor, as global companies move their operations to places where the work force don't require such high wages. Eventually the people in the new countries will demand wage increases to match our current wage, but that could take up to 50 years, if not more. And when this happens our wages will increase. Its a price we're all paying for cheap clothes and electronic goods.
The UK tax rate is not the worse! In Ireland we pay 21% on goods, as opposed to 17.5% in the UK, and our top tax rate on earnings has just been reduced from 42% on earnings over €32k to 41%, yippee!!!!!!

It relies upon on the attitude. in case you evaluate our international at the instant to .....say... the darkish a protracted time...we are in lots better shape. Even evaluating it to ...say...the 30's and 40's while 60 million human beings have been killed in a international war we are in lots better shape. How with regard to the 60's while human beings interior the U. S. have been rioting interior the streets for civil rights and or against the viet nam war. many human beings have been gunned down interior the streets. intense colleges had snipers on the roof, the KKK replaced into nevertheless a tension and so have been the black panthers, 3 million men had long previous with the aid of viet nam, the chilly war replaced into nevertheless on, the soviet union replaced right into a real risk, we've been on the element of nuclear holocaust with missiles in Cuba, the Berlin Wall replaced into nevertheless up. i assume you may say we are better off now. whether, you're particularly authentic, our young ones won't inherit a extra robust international than we enjoyed. we are only now understanding we had something to lose now that this is leaving. we are certainly witnessing the tip of u . s . a . as we knew it. "basic substitute" isn't substitute for the better.
