Ever wondered how communism worked in practice? Ever wondered how communism materialises, it rides on the back of a fake virus, and we are living in the shade of its utopia.
It works in mysterious ways that not many when they feel its sting know what it was that bit them. It touches every crevice of your now basic existence and grows like a cancer. It is like an EV battery fire, once started it feeds off its own heat and is disguised as inflation.
It is like a reversing Archimedes screw, and you are at the bottom, also known as trickle down!
Imagine an economy based on consumption and welfare. Where you are taxed at source, then taxed again on everything you use, where any productive source of creating new money is discouraged, because it is bad for the environment.
Imagine buying a banana to discover the bulk of its cost is tax, RUC’s climate tax on fuel to get it to you.
Imagine turning on the heater to discover that most of that cost is tax. The generator, the gentailer and the retailer are paying dividends and tax to your Government which you will be the one paying as you are at the end of the supply chain.
Imagine paying for imported coal when we have our own and paying for renewable energy which does not work when we have other options.
Imagine living in your country’s largest city paying a fuel surcharge but not getting any roading improvements, ask the ex-mayor he knows why.
Imagine paying a tax on a tax, your rates.
Imagine paying a quarter of a billion for a third station for a train to stop at, imagine paying billions for tribal jacked up grievances, imagine paying billions to change the weather, imagine being told by your leaders you have a poor savings record.
Welcome to your home.
