My view is that many people who have voted to go on strike have financial problems, and see no end to the tunnel.
How many know they face unemployment sooner or later to accomodate the Government's spending cuts?
How many have a mortgage to pay and know they might be on the street without their old roof soon?
How many have rent to pay and see themselves having problems paying it?
How many have borrowed money for some essential things that needed purchasing and have to pay it back?
How many have a child or children at school or at University and participate in covering their expenses?
Then we all hear every day that this or that country in Europe has gone bankrupt and needs a bailout, and we all know that our own Treasury is in debt ever-increasing.
When Barry pointed out to me recently on the Forum that my idea was wrong, that the very- very rich should pay up a one-time sum to the Treasury to relieve them of some of their PRIVATE assets, but still remain millionaires after that, I realised that debate is pointless, and so strikes seem inevitable to me.
I mean, try making a proposal that would bring in more money to the Treasury, which in turn would help Gov. overcome serious financial problems, so that spending cuts that hurt millions of people (tens of millions of people all told), wouldn't be necessary, and you're told "don't touch the bankers' bonuses", don't touch the private assets of the 1000 richest people in Britain".
And that it would be theft and illegal.
