THE VOICE OF REBELLIOUS EUROPE: The Working Class can kiss my ass; I’ve got a politician’s job at last.

For many years, I’ve managed to have a pretty good standard of living through career progression and then being self-employed.

I’ve always worked hard. I have enjoyed a few decent holidays and nights out. My work and salary were enough to keep my wife and two kids. I got on the property ladder in my twenties. I have largely always found a way to be reasonably comfortable financially.

But recently, things have changed.

My annual income is significantly higher than it was in my twenties. However, I feel significantly poorer than in my twenties.

And that’s because the cost of living is completely out of control. Yes, the cost of living is out of control, particularly for basic essentials like energy and food prices.

This is combined with a horrendous tax burden – now at record levels.

We would pay all of this tax. We would get a return on investment. Then a social contract of trust would form. This contract would exist between the taxpayer and the government.

But there’s not. Instead, we are paying record amounts of overall taxation and the country is rotting. Nothing works. Public services have diminished and infrastructures are rotting. The decay is everywhere.

I am not alone in saying this. Everyone I speak to is saying the same thing. We are all working hard just to stay afloat. At the same time, we pay governments extortionate amounts of money. They use these funds to make our lives worse.

And for all of this, I blame successive governments. They have let the country rot.

They’ve sold our assets to multinational corporations. They’ve made some terrible policy decisions that have cost the taxpayer a fortune.

They’ve spaffed away our hard-earned tax money on wars, corporate contracts, numerous crisis situations that they created. They feathered their own nests with power and money in the process.

They’ve brought Britain and other Western countries to their knees through willful incompetence. This decline is managed for corporate greed. We are all paying the price.

At some point, we must stop focusing on who needs to pay more tax. Instead, we should focus on where all of our tax money is going.

The mood across Britain and other EU nations is unlike anything I’ve ever witnessed before. But it’s not the fault of the people. It’s the fault of the government. And don’t ever let these bastards tell you otherwise.
