What are you prepared to give to get the country out of this mess?

[darkman2]

I see, I see, I see lots of people complaining, moaning and showing plenty of begrudgery in recent weeks around what has to be done and who should pay. I think we all have to pay something. Everyone, the rich, the lowest earners, and those on welfare included to save the country from collapse. Without going into arguments about who is responsible....blah blah blah what are you prepared to take so the country gets back on it's feet? Everyone has to give something. A tax hike? A pay cut? A wage freeze?


Basically how much pain are you willing to take for the good of the country? (if it means in 5 years time we are out of the mess and can rebuild the economy)

However much it costs to get a flight outta here tbh.

[Dartz]

I would like to further qualify the OP by saying no one has a choice. Your getting raped either way on budget day.

Il give someone a sniper rifle and 30 round of ammo............maybe that will sort out our "leaders"...

... a change in Government would be a start...


...or IF our "leaders" took a substantial 50-60% pay cut and worked for us for a change!

i'm with you i've been thinking more and more lately.

at most i'd be willing to take a pay freeze, although i'm still finding it hard to grasp why i & lots of others who didn't get greedy in the good times should have to pay for the sins of those who did (whoever they are, i won't get into blame or arguments about this like you asked ). i know the country needs to be rebuilt for the good of everyone but speaking honestly the begrudger inside me doesn't think it's very fair & i should just fly out of here and leave them in the mess they made.

I'm on a wage freeze for a year now. Have a pension which is not worth much and don't have the guaranteed security of a job nor do I have the privilege of having a Friday afternoon off to walk the streets.

So yeh, you can guess which sector i'm in so its about time another certain sector contributed their share of pain as after all their employer is broke
