Are you suffering from Affluenza

Typical socialist whining...

When will they realise that success is defined on your ability to work hard, have some sort of entrepreneurial spirit and ingenuity - I know more people that would be classed as "working class" by these lazy, destructive, jealous arseholes that have made fortunes bigger than so called privileged middle class working in the City.

The sooner these types are driven into the ground like the communist “whistleblowers” that have been in former communist Hungary, the better.

As the great man said

"The meaning of peace is the absence of opposition to socialism."

Well, cultural Marxism in our society really works, doesn't it...

It's as misleading and pretentious a statement as:

Catch a man a fish, and you can sell it to him. Teach a man to fish, and you ruin a wonderful business opportunity.

Like a bliarite soundbite, sounds good, but the content is divisive, misleading and ignorant.

Money does not make you happy....apparantly

Affluenza:
Simply defined, Affluenza, is a dysfunctional relationship
with money/wealth, or the pursuit of it. Globally it is a back up
in the flow of money resulting in a polarization of the classes
and a loss of economic and emotional balance.

Some twonk was barracking on about this on the radio earlier. Apparantly, if you pursue wealth you are more likely to suffer from mental illness and personality disorders than if you subscribe to Blairism (or socialism as I believe it used to be known as).

Over to the panel

Have you not simplified the choices available to the point of parody?

Money
So they say
Is the root of all evil Today

But when you ask for a rise
It comes as no surprise
There giving none away...away...away

What a Blessing that we have had almost a decade of New Labour busily ensuring that very few suffer from this phobia. Aside from heavy duty Party donors and Deputy PMs of course.

Their 'vision statement':

We envision a world in which money flows freely to those in need,
where there is no hunger, no poverty of body or soul;
where greed has been laid to rest, with understanding among people
that money is simply a form of energy exchange
and that genuine happiness is found in the giving, not the receiving.
We are dedicated to the awareness that true wealth
is a result of an abundance of love that can only be found between people
and only fully realized when no one among us is hungry or homeless.

What would you call it Sasguru??? Sums up socialism in my mind - goes against everything I believe in

We are here on Earth to do good to others. What the others are here for, I don't know.

A false and misleading ideology that when actively pursued, will end in state bankruptcy, social demise and atrophy...
