Where do you fall on the scale if falling for trickle down economics?

My grandmother died a week before I was born. Lung cancer. She was 46 and worked in a brickworks.

Her son, my dad did an apprenticeship in the Clyde Shipyards. When I was old enough to vote he told me that ANYONE who works for a wage should never vote conservative. (He probably said fucking tory!)

My first vote was in 1972 - for the admirable Gough Whitlam who brought universal health care to Australia.

Since then, I've seen the erosion of the working class and their backstop - the trade union. Good, honest, talented people live on a pittance because they are not 'entrepreneurs'. Cheating other people has become somehow honourable because scamming someone somehow equates to being a 'smarter' person than the honest, law abiding worker.

Oops im getting carried away, but you know what I mean....
