the pm has been stabbed in the back by his own party, which proves my point political animals have not evolved since julius cesear was stabbed in the back by the senate in ancient rome. this type of posturing is farcical and pointless, all political movements have reached impasse, it's certainly the end of democracy, which means 'rule by the people'. what we are entering into is a new type of ideology where the people are so dumb they don't know how to rule therefore the ruling is done through a process called 'dumb-ocracy.
an example of this could be the mining tax.
okay at first the mining tax seems like a great idea, tax the very rich and spread the wealth, any man in the street seems to think so, lets drill deep into the issue.
the mining companies are making a huge profit at the moment but this is a boom time, for the many years before the boom time they actually made a huge loss. the investment in mining is huge, it takes billions of dollars to even find locations, let alone fund the mine, it's high risk, yet the pay off is employment and and eventual profit. so after spending a fortune on sourcing a mine and then infrastructure to move it's minerals the company starts making a profit. suddenly the government says we want that profit on top of the tax you already pay. why?
the reason is obvious, the government have run out of money. they have spent the cash the last government saved, wasted it on stupid give aways that made everyone feel good for a while. but they forget the job of a government is economic management.
oh but what about the gfc everyone yells?
the biggest mistake that dudd and obama made was the bail outs, that cost the nation more money than they had, it took the usa and australia into debt. the solution was there, in capitalism, not socialism, let those companies fail and crash, they fucked up, that's capitalism working. then build in some regulations for new companies and move towards sustainable economies. this would have been a smart option. but the problem is people like kate blanchard are invited to summits instead of smart thinkers and innovators.
what i want to know is what fucking ideas did kate blanchard have and why is she invited to a summit on austalias future over some one else.
dumbocracy at it's best.
it really is a joke. the australian public should not vote for labour, it's the highest form of treachery and reflects the base mentality of their collective intelligence. it's a historic mistake and despite my lack of love for rudd, i do think he was brutalised by his own party unnecessarily. it's shameful and the public should make it known, but they wont, why?
dumbocracy now rules.
later after the evil deed abbot made an accurate assessment during question time, it was quite simply incredible to watch him defending rudd and speaking up for him, the labour party are finished.
