Hi Ray

It wasnt me that you were responding to but found the post interesting.

Reguarding the US, we have our issues also. Incomes and costs can be higher just 100 miles away and even within the same state with high income people buying houses in cheaper areas and commuting long distances and in the process making housing unafordable to locals who make much less money. Real estate and income taxes are affected by the pay public employees make in the exoensive metro areas. State police and prison employees cant afford to live in NYC metro area unless they inherrit a home and transfer upstate where they can live well on the public salary. So you have the least experienced people working in the most crowded crime ridden areas.

Hi Clive.

Apologies to all who read beyond this point.
No offense intended.


Corbyn (current leader of the opposition (Labour/red)) has relatively extreme history and if/when he gets in has plans for a great wealth redistribution which has massive amounts of support over here (revolt against capitalism).

I'm not trying to get political here, but how stupid is that logic?

I did not see it as a revolt against capitalism per se.
From my point of view, Brexit was a revolt against Globalism and the Elites; and for Sovereignty.

Free market capitalism should always win out versus socialism/fascism.

If and only if it is unfettered with burdensome regulations from unelected (and therefore unaccountable) bureaucrats along with their willing accomplices 'the special interests', the Elites. I think you'll find those folks in Brussels.
BTW: In Russia, they call the Elites, Oligarchs. Same difference.
Corrupt as they come.

We have them here as well.
They're all in D.C. in the congress and on K street picking winners and losers. (They always win).
A pox on their house!

The timing of the eventual collapse of Corbyn's vision is determined by when you run out of other people's money and can't pay off the dept incurred.

Look at Venezuela. Total collapse. Who's the richest individual in that country? Hugo Chavez' daughter. And she probably doesn't even live there.

Puerto Rico on this side of the pond is totally corrupt. About to default on $2 billion.
Congress will bail them out.
No consequences.
No accountability.
My money.

My guess is that there are plenty of Brits, who like me, have worked for over 40 years and are fed up with it.

Again, no offense intended.
