OSBORNE-THE MASTER SMOKE AND MIRRORS MAN!



Osborne's clandestine raid on tax and benefits to cost families £30bn
 
The above headline was taken from the 'Daily Mare' and you can bet that if their editors are letting it be used then Osborne's budget was not one anyone will remember with any fondness.

Back in the mists of time in the 70s, the days of platform shoes and bell bottom trousers and the women were worse, we voted for parties for the good of the country.  Now it seems to me that we vote in parties for what we will get out of it.  The same with budgets.  Almost as the Chancellor speaks, we have a litany of experts telling us how much it's going to cost us or vice versa.  (Sorry, it's the politicians that like their vice versa)!

The Chancellor tells us that this budget tells the world that Britain is open for business.  That may or not be true, but what is for sure is that they have a large unemployed workforce to choose from who will be forced to work for fuck all, as wage slaves, until they hit 70, before they get a pension. How many will live much more than that age, as they drag their work weary limbs from doctor to hospital appointment, is debatable.  But I would bet it won't be too many unless they decide to pay for medicine to keep us alive.

So there you have your life set out by the powers that be who control our politicians.  You flog your guts out in some second rate pish occupation for 50+ years, taxed to the hilt with VAT, income tax now including N.I., to get a state pension of £140 or the equivalent.  Anything you may have from a company will be taxed out of existence and if you leave anything for your children, that will be taken as well as the world slowly but surely moves towards World Governance by Global bankers and Capitalists.

Fuck me!  I'm beginning to sound like a Anarchist, or even worse a Socialist!

THE DARK LOCHNAGAR BUDGET-SEE IF YOU AGREE!


If I was Georgio Osborne this is what I would do in the budget.  I know some of this would be Scotland's responsibility but in general terms.
  • HEALTH-10% CUT.  I for one have got nothing but praise for the health service but as with all large organisations there is a lot of waste to cut.  Drugs, GP's salaries and staffing in clinics but not wards could all be cut, to start with and there then is plenty more to be going on with.
  • DEFENCE-Bring the troops home from Afghanistan and Iraq, cancel Trident and the Aircraft carriers.
  • FREEZE BENEFITS-Everybody has to contribute something.  Stop tax credits above £30k and means test child benefit and make it only payable up to two children.
  • INCREASE TAX-Close tax loopholes, raise taxes above £50k and increase tax to 60% above £100k, increase CGT to the same rate as your nominal tax rate.
  • CIVIL SERVICE-Slash top Civil Service pay.  No-one should be earning more than the PM. Slash Civil Servants pensions to a maximum of £50k per annum with a corresponding fall down to £30k
  • OTHER DEPARTMENTS-To make an immediate cut of 15% rising to 20% by 2013

  • UPDATE-Sorry I forgot my old friend, INTERNATIONAL AID.  THAT'LL SAVE £7.9 BILLION
The ones of course who will bleat the most will be the twats who voted LABOUR for the last 13 years but with pleasure comes pain, ying and yang, cause and affect etc.  Or put in the parlance of the streets, LABOUR FUCKED IT AS USUAL, NOW THE TORIES HAVE TO CLEAR IT UP, AS USUAL.
