I think I could struggle on without the salary. Though sackcloth and ashes I may be.

Do you get the point now?
Johnny Dogs wrote: » Absolutely. Same way I believed Michael D wouldn't contest a second term.
AudreyHepburn wrote: » And where do think Casey’s millions come from?
Where does the money you make come from?

AudreyHepburn wrote: » You’re missing the point completely. Every bit of money that passes through your hands and mine comes from taxes. Complaining that the wealthy make money from taxpayers makes no sense because they pay taxes too and we all make money from other peoples taxes.
Johnny Dogs wrote: » This is some funked up logic. A self employed individual, a PAYE employee, or a business owner in the private sector have made their money from the tax collected from the exchequer Could you by any chance dissect this a bit, and explain it a bit more for me, I'm genuinely interested in this theory.

Johnny Dogs wrote: » I'm not arguing - far from it, I just want to be able to cover my tail should anyone accuse me of gaining anything i own from the money collected via tax, rather than through my own hard work and initiative. You appear to not want to explain this theory, and I think I know why. It's more holes in it than a sieve.

LiamoSail wrote: » Dress it up and demean it how you like. The surge in Casey's popularity is down to the frustration the middle classes feel in working hard to fund those who choose not to work. People are sick of spending thousand each year they can ill afford to allow others a bone idle lifestyle. The average industrial wage is about 36k. If you earn twice the average industrial wage, you still won't take home as much as Margaret Cash. That is astonishing, and really bugs the majority of honest, hardworking people. Call it whatever you want, but the frustration is genuine and justified.
