But the real purpose was to quickly flash this diabolic idea into people’s consciousness in order to lessen the shock when it’s actually done.

They’re the ones who put Old Red in the Premiers office and they want and expect her to hand over a bigger and bigger “fair share” to them. The Bureaucrat Class believe that it is they who are the centre of the solar system so you can expect that their idea of “fair share” can be translated into it being a world of hurt for everyone else.Blame Crashhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03736137844334640019noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21136151.post-67026999521140215102011-11-15T21:41:56.191-07:002011-11-15T21:41:56.191-07:00Ahh, the perfect storm!
