Everyone talks about the country sitting on gunpowder , waiting to explode any day because of the growing divide between the rich and the poor.
Hello, does anybody even think of the Middle Class and the fact that one day they will wake up to the harsh realities of their existence?
Squeezed like a limp piece of chicken from both sides - the rich on one side whose money gives them everything on a platter . The poor on the other side who walk away with all the benefits because of grants and subsidies.
Paying taxes through their noses, but getting no service. Bad roads and infrastructure, an expensive educational system that does not deliver, reservations that ensure that meritocracy does not stand a chance.
Paying through their noses for bad housing and running pillar to post for subsidised housing. The rich can afford all and the politicians and bureaucrats allot subsidised housing to themselves. The poor only have to squat anywhere and they reap dividends in terms of free housing and free land.
A judicial system that makes you wish you knew an underworld don who would deliver justice through the parallel system. A police force that only services the politicians and one that you would not trust your daughter with.A bureaucracy that is a living nightmare.
Prices that rise , expenses that rise and salaries that don’t keep up.
I think there will be a time that the middle class will also become militant. And stand up for its right.And demand answers on his tax money, incompetent politicians, avaricious bureaucrats. It may even demand to know why everyone shares equal rights as them- when clearly it is the Middle Class that makes this country tick?
Maybe it will already be too late when they do stand up. We might have relinquished our democratic rights already in favour of an oligarchy or even a monarchy!
