Lemme tell you a funny story. It comes for the days of yore, the days when no one knew what ‘public health’ was, mostly because it hadn’t been invented yet. There was no ‘running water’ or ‘sewage’, and certainly no rubbish trucks. Electricity hadn’t been applied to lighting one’s house. It was a vastly different time. If you got an infection, you, well, good luck. Praying was the best that most people could do.
A couple a centuries ago, waaaaay before Australians had been taken to the brink of extinction by the British, some very, very, VERY, rich people in England began to wonder what to do with their money. They’d invested in everything they could. Some had built unis, some had built hospitals. and insane asylums, and morgues and, one day, a really odd thing happened.
‘Let’s make society better.’
This thought occurred and resulted in the concept of ‘public welfare’. This eventually evolved into social welfare, resulting in well-managed taxation to pay for hospitals, schools, roads, sewage, drinking water for every house, and electricity and telephones. It is the foundation of secular Western morality and is the hallmark of what we all experience as ‘civilisation’.
‘Isn’t that veeerd?’
Yes, Goldmember, quite weird.
The rich today are mainly constituted of lower middle class people who are possessed by either delusional aspirations of being upper middle class or of a terrible self-hatred. The actual rich do not vote but pay for groups of the lower middle class to lobby politicians to enact policies which reduce taxation on the upper class.
That’s how you know if you are pretentious or actually rich. Got it?
Every now and then, a rich cunt donates a couple a hundred thousand to a charity or to medical research and they pay newsertainment to lick their arses. The rich now buy unis and charge students to attend, and then accuse the lower low class of wanting a free ride so GST can be increased… or some such.
The original Australians are further written out of history with the cuntery of The Voice. No one talked the to the Maori, that’s for bloody sure!
Such a funny, up-side-down world we have these days…
Mister for Men, as if men need another group of arseholes telling us not to get upset when we’re being shafted even harder.
Worsening economy, as if the Liberals importing millions of immigrants to inflate consumption while actively blocking small business and their profits, thereby reducing national productivity, isn’t a clusterfuck.
Just as well Labo(u)r are on the fucking ball.
You like my jokes, yes?
Increasing expenses as increasingly extreme weather impacts productivity and transport and profits but NO CLIMATE CHANGE ISN’T REAL, OK??? (Sponsored by the Flat Is Reel Society.)
Hahahahahhahaaha it’s so funny! The rich (the actual rich not the self-indulgent, in-debt-to-eye-balls rich) have the resources to contribute materially and significantly to society but, unlike the Victorian rich, there’ll be no humanitarianism this time.
Hahahaha! Glad I have a black sense of humour.🐦⬛⚡️
Good-bye.
