No systems are perfect and I have no doubt that the current ones will evolve but some socialist utopia isn't going to come about because human nature is against it. We as a race are selfish, that is the animal inside us: Like any animal we want to take all the resorces we can get our hands on and keep them for ourselves and deny others access to them.
Quite simply we are not created equal.
But that is to diverge from the topic.
Pay is frozen because the country has been paying itself too much for too long and there has to be a re-balancing. That also means a reduction in living standards as we are weaned off the credit boom of the noughties.

Yes, but this current economic and social system is no longer benefiting the general public, only the rich, it also caused this great depression. The REAL reason why Pay is frozen is because they rich have taken control of democracy and capitalism and used to benefit themselves that ended up causing the worst depression since the 1930s. To pay for the rich then exploit we even more (after taking away union power and the benefits that came with it)!!!
P.S. I do not want to abolish Capitalism and Democracy, but radically reform it!!!
