    Austerity is nothing but a means to an end. That end being the neoliberal trasnformation of Britain, where government exists solely as a facilitator of private wealth and does as little else as it can get away with thus ensuring low taxes. Whether or not this is a good ambition depends upon your outlook - human or something else.

    Finally, someone on this forum with a clue!

    There is another way - we'll send you the bill for the shortfall in government finances instead and you can use a magic money tree to fund it all.

    Is this the magic money tree that the government used to bail out the bankers?

    This is not about playing party politics. Sad that you think so. It is about governments propping up failed multi national banking corporations.

    So you do understand why the magic money that was used for bailing out the banks isn't being used now, sorry I thought from your earlier post that you didn't.

    But what about the wealthy?

    Under Tony and Gordon they only paid 40p in the pound top rate tax. They now have to pay 45p
