The politics of envy.

It is quite a long time since I last addressed the issue of 'the politics of envy'. It is one of the most unendearing features of socialism and of their leftist imitators.
It means that anybody who: pays to educate their own children; pays for their own medical care; has savings; takes responsibility for their own life; is born one social stratum ahead of you, may be freely abused as a milch cow for taxation and is fair game for the kind of vile insults which would inevitably get you arrested if used in much diluted form against leftist 'favourites'.
Hatred of the middle classes and higher is legitimised.

Ironically, the owner of a company who makes £80k per year by: taking risks; working disproporionately hard; absorbing stress; providing employment and taxes for the exchequer is pilloried. In the meantime, council bureaucrats can earn salaries well into six figures - often much more than the Prime Minister and these are apparently 'to ensure that they get the best people for the job'.
[The irony is completely lost on them!]

Job 5:2 For wrath killeth the foolish man, and envy slayeth the silly one.

Proverbs 14:30 A sound heart is the life of the flesh: but envy the rottenness of the bones.
