Kiwiblog and DPF’s reaction to a dole bludger

Where does the dole go? it goes to; the landlord, the supermarket, and the power and phone companies, and maybe a cafe here and there, the dole doesn’t subsidise people, it subsidises the economy. Beneficiary bashing is a ploy designed to take the focus from: the wealthy who engineer tax cuts for themselves via the political system upon which they have an undemocratic influence, the baby boomers who are milking their children’s generation for every cent they have via property investment, the business owners who hide their income and write off everything they own by putting it through the business, and the financially literate, who make money simply by dint of having money, and hide their income in off shore bank accounts and trusts, and “negative gearing”, the ceo’s of companies and banks (who lend money they don’t even have) who profit from a quasi-religious and self perpetuating fanatical belief in the right to excessive wealth above all else, and pay themselves million dollar bonuses, at the expense of the public who must use their services, all of this sucks such vast amounts of money out of the system, forces rents up so high, that prices are so expensive, to cover rentals, that wages and contract rates are so low, that I would rather be on the dole at the moment. So sue me.

-this of course doesn’t even take into account that there are less jobs than ever, because the architects of the current version of capitalism (freemarket, unregulated, tax payer underwritten!?, lassaiz faire) in the U.S. fucked the economy, NOT people on the dole. So some other poor bastard can thank their lucky stars that I don’t feel like working at the moment, and am happy to live on sweet F A so that they can have a job.

Still when I do work, I’ll be working for myself… And writing off and hiding as much income as I can, because the rates are so low, I’ll have to to survive…

My point is not that I am some kind of hard done by saint, or to justify my position, my point is that the whole system is fucked up from top to bottom, and blaming the people at the bottom (financially speaking anyway), is a complete red herring, and could only be the intellectual position of those who have their heads in the sand and refuse to acknowledge that which is obvious and in plain sight…. ( if you follow the news, have your eyes open, and put 2 and 2 together)

Addendum: The right wing press’s habiy of popularising the very rare case when anyone manages to get more than they are entitled to under the we;fare system , let alone what they are actually entitled, is statistically insignificant, and ultimately irrelevant. you will find flaws in any system and those who will exploit those flaws in any system. So what? Whose fault is it? who’s fault is that? those who administer the system.

Its not the dole bludger whose bending the working man over the bench, you fukn morons, its those with the fingers in the pies at the top, the more you blame the relatively powerless, the more you allow those in power to fuck you up the arse, dorks.

Nice one.
Wake the fuck up.
