I'm not being funny but I'm holding down one full time and two part time jobs, it's just me looking after the kids. You do what you have to and I really don't want to pay any more tax so that someone that I've never met can have a far more luxurious retirement than I will ever have
The average public sector pensions is 6,000 a year, take out senior civil servants (higher management) and its about 4,000. These are people like nurses, cleaners, bin men, all gonna get fucked over because capitalism wants it. By siding with the Government you are siding with the rich and powerful - the parasite class - over your own class.
The fact is that you are paying more in tax anyway, and will be paying more, but this tax is called capitals profits. The average pay increase is well below inflation, every year the value of your pay is decreasing, guess where that wealth is going? to the bosses, the likes of Phillip Green. If you are struggling with the pay that your boss gives you, while makin profit from you, then only by standing side by side with fellow workers is the only way we, as a class, are gonna be able to fight back. You think once they have finished with the public sector workers they aint coming after private sector workers? the fact is they already have you in their sights, and are already attacking us all, and things are gonna get worse unless we start saying NO, and to do that means fighting back.
This isnt a fight between private sector workers and public sector workers, although the bosses want that - like they love pitting unemployed (created by their system) vs employed, or immigrants vs native, or whites against blacks - anything that keeps our class from standing up to their class enables them to keep fucking us, and, as we are seeing at the moment, making all us pay for THEIR CRISIS!!. Its a fight between our class and theirs. By attacking workers yopu are siding with the bosses class, and it means you are further digging your own grave.
