the truism 'it ain't what you earn, its what you keep' has never rung clearer.
As my old instructor said, youth and experience will always be beaten by guile and cunning. I think it's time that collectively we deployed some of that native guile and cunning to preserve not only our standards of living but prevent us being taxed into poverty and reliance on the state.

Is it just me or does anybody else see the irony in the fact that we have spent much of the past decade fighting for the freedom and independence of subjugated people overseas, whilst all along the Government of the day has effectively been introducing policies that will effectively deny those very individuals that same freedom and independence by pulling the rug out at every available opportunity, inevitably forcing us into relying on a state that, through its actions, seems to believe personal aspiration and success are morally wrong?
