Why are people such staunch Labor voters?

[curmu-curmu]

Particularly when every Labor governement in living history has amounted such huge debts whilst in office?

Or is it just that they blindly follow the old mantra, that 'Labor is for the working man?'

Now don't get me wrong - I don't particularly like Abbott, and I sure as h3ll didn't like Rudd or Gillard, but there's so much more to a political party than it's leader.

Feel free to discuss...

What I want is for the top 1% to pay their fair share of tax and to refrain from causing the other 99% to have to stoop to what passes for slavery or beggary.

I want the top 1% to stop stealing our national resources, oppressing our people and buying representation in our govts.

It's too late for that now, they won't do it voluntarily and I'm puzzled that those who are also exploited and repressed by this 1% would come out and defend them in their bloody piracy.

I promise not to comment on Hastings or Agincourt just in case.I wouldn't want to appear to be insensitive.

You also lost a significant part of your share in your county's assets courtesy of the people you defend.

Their ultimate victory. they steal from you and yet you still defend them.

and to anticipate your question . . . go ask Alice Gina.

Define fair share. 99% of the Australian population is not living in slavery or begging. The fact that some people found the mother lode before the rest of us knew it was there does not make them pirates or theives. It means they were lucky. The rest of us weren't. Going to live your life as someone resentful? Or embrace what you have, which is probably more than they do.

I don't envy those born to different life than I was, why would you? By most accounts, she's not nor ever been happy, who'd want that?

In fact lapetus  what you and your ilk want is to have something handed to you on a silver platter without having to do any thing, your ilk consider it their divine right to have some one hand feed them because thet are incapable of doing anything for themselves.

that ilk are envious  of everyone who is more clever, more good looking, wealthier and any thing that they are not.

You really don't know or understand just how wealthy is this top 1%, do you? You can't imagine it. But please don't stop trying. Once you understand, then you'l wonder how you could ever have supported such a sub-class of people who thrive on your ignorance and on your docile complicity.

Spoken like a true socialist...

[poddster]

Why thy obsession with wealthy people?

If you compare yourself with others there will always be greater and lesser people than yourself, no doubt you have done just that for a long time, hence you current attitude to most things
