available jobs. Productivity has leaped ahead but most workers are
now worse off than years ago. The rich have had it all their own way
and are parasitic on the work of others. The contribution of our
professionals is negligible, but they skew the system to reward
themselves. Some of us have taken far more than we were due and its
clear from the way the rich have continually taken a great share that
this has nothing to do with effort and everything to do with who is in
control.
We should user a combination of taxes and restructuring our economies
to allow decent earning at the bottom, and a focus on sustainable,
clean technology and growing to bring about a society in which equal
opportunity is possible. Claims to meritocracy should be treated as
the buffoonery they are.
