The rich of this country rely very much on the social system. Capitalism for the poor and socialism for the rich. Look what happened when the banks crashed; the government stepped in and bailed them out but did they bail out Joe Blogs when Sainsbury’s stopped buying things from his small business? Of course they didn’t because Joe Blogs lives within a Capitalist society which is sink or swim for small time businesses like his.

Supermarket profits are on the up since the government built in schemes to send in workers free of charge in return for work experience stacking shelves. Tax credits have ensured corporate companies can get away with paying a minimum wage because the government will subsidize what they don’t want to pay. All these big business benefit from tax payers money. State aid/subsidy for the big boys is at an all time high. Contrast that with the benefit sanctions for the poor in the name of ‘austerity.’

We are looking at a style of capitalism that has gone very wrong. A style of capitalism that creates unaffordable borrowing, ridiculous house pricing and massive amounts of poverty.

Capitalism is a wonderful thing but this isn’t capitalism, that’s just a name they’ve given it to con us all into believing we need to try harder because there may just be a pot of gold at the end of that rainbow.
