Anyway,you wrote this


2 which implies that you are still riding your Anti-Tory-let's-bash-the-rich-wave.At least it does to me... maybe you can offer an alternative viewpoint.


3 The other thread is the welfare state Mega-thread,there may be a hint in there...


4 You know this how exactly? If the UK government wasn't influencing the wage structure through this benefit,it probably would.Seeing that people will vote with their feet and take higher paid positions,then those employers who offer too low a wage will have to adjust to the market.
Another factor is that the Industry of course knows this and some companies probably factor-in the possibilities of benefit payments to their employees. In any case it distorts the wage structure and is no good as such.
1 No I am not as I explained before its all just a game. Just being pedantic mate jumping on any possible flaw in logic as people do to me

2 You are seeing the implication as I said please do not talk for me I am anti this system I have just as much ill will for Labour more anti capitalist but not a Marxist . If you actually look at my sig I am a member of UKIP but only because I want out of the EU

3 Yes but Tax Credits are Welfare however issued by HM revenue and customs so I thought I would leave it for the team to decide which you aint part of so hmm

4 It is my experience that in the capitalistic society where everything is greed orientated that employers would try to not increase wages and of course some simply will not be able to


I personally favour the idea of a Mixed Market Economy over the Free Market Economy the difference in theory would mean there would be less likelihood of economic downturns and capitalism's cycle of boom and bust

As it stands big business and corporations control the government in a MME the government would have some level of control over the businesses
