When you have much - even a lot taken from you does not hurt. When you have a comfortable amount there is much to lose but
When you have little, losing little can lead to desperation.
TV and radio is currently filled with people interviewed on the streets - clearly Labour voters all - who are going to lose out. (Nice leftie tactic!)
What upsets me is that they think that:
a) The 'hardhearted tories' enjoy doing this.
b) That there are alternatives.
c) That this is not Labour's fault.
d) That somebody other than them must always pay.
e) That the super rich can be made to pay taxes - which is false - they just move their monies, investments and expertise to lower taxed countries.
f) That the welfare state can survive: parasites, cheats, visionaries, the unworthy et al.
Of these points, only the second and fourth are not entirely true but they are effectively so - that is, unless you have a UKIP administration, of course, which knows precisely how to save the country a fortune without a down side and with added benefits.
