Back from the Caribbean

Yes man, I've been to de Carrib-beyan, I've seen Eric deMan Clapton's house. I've seen billionaires yachts, one was so big it had a helecopter, sailing boat, and power boat on the decks. Who is that rich? Some Russian billionaire who owns Chelsea Football Club in London. Who needs that much money? Well, I suppose he does. I was told he bought the yacht from Bill Gate's right hand man at Microsoft. Cash of course. There's and old joke, the rich get richer and the poor get poorer. I'm told here in the US that the middle class pay a lot more tax than they used to, and the rich pay less. That brings the good ol' USA into line with the rest of the western world, where the middle class get hammered and abused by the government. The rich and the poor don't care so much. The rich get taxed less so they can spend more and don't care about the price of anything. The poor (in Europe anyway) get state benefits and don't want to work, as they would lose money. It's the same old deja vu. We've all seen this film before, and we know the ending. As I was saying, the rich get richer........ Most amazing of all is that the middle class are by far the largest block of voters in society, the ones who vote governments and presidents into office; yet successive governments the western world over slit them up a treat, kick them in the crutch, then wonder why the governments are booted out of power so often, and even the ones in power are seen as the lesser of two evils, and are hated more and more. Why haven't the political parties caught on? Go figure. I wish someone could tell me. Are they as stupid as they look? I'll let you answer that.
