Hey donna, I see your fan club is back.....10 in 1....lucky you eh?
Hawk have you ever heard of Plutocracy? Basically it doesn't matter who gets into power because both sides serve the rich. e.g. when Juliar started we had 5 strictly regulated uranium mines...now we have 24. Don't worry about two decades of protest against proliferation eh?...anything for a buck as long as the Aussie people never see a cent of it......ALP are so right wing and elitist these days, they might as well be the left wing of the LNP.
Many learned people warned against Plutocracy....=not a new concept by any means. The rich have always had more power than us, to purchase advantages we couldn't imagine.
The word plutocracy is almost always used as a pejorative to describe or warn against an undesirable condition, and throughout history political thinkers such as Winston Churchill, 19th-century French sociologist and historian Alexis de Tocqueville and 19th-century Spanish monarchist Juan Donoso Cortés have condemned those they characterize as plutocrats for ignoring their social responsibilities to the poor, using their power to serve their own purposes and thereby incre...class conflict, and corrupting their societies with greed and hedonism
The way it plays out is via the concept of Socialism for the Rich and Capitalism for the poor. i.e. when the Govt gives us money it's called a handout....when they give the rich money it's not called a handout, even though it is. When it's the rich doing the Oliver Twist, it's called 'Corporate Welfare', via taxpayer funded stimulus, tax concessions, free for all on our mineral resources etc etc etc.
We no longer live in a democracy...it died along with Whitlam's aspirations for Australia and our Nations rightful wealth.
