    I think what mongos like you miss half the time is that the state is seen as a burden to quite a lot of people - it's not a big free pinata where everyone gets a stick to beat it - it actually has to be paid for. You talk about austerity as if everyone loses something free - no they lose something they are borrowing money to pay for - and they will have to pay it back at some point.

    WTF is a Mongo? I thought that was my point. And cut the insults boy I have obviously hit a nerve. Perhaps you have borrowed to rent? I have little sympathy with people who try to make money with money. These are the people who have put the world economy into the mess that it is in. I rent out property but this is as a result of productive business that provided a service to the community and my property is paid for. If you play roulette it's no good moaning when the 0 pops up.

    The nerve you hit was 'what about austerity?' when addressing someone who very probably isn't a net benefactor of state wealth redistribution. It's the naivety of assuming that everyone gets something for nothing - what you don't seem to realise is that for some people their main relationship with the state, at least as they see it, is to write a cheque for their taxes - and their only interest in it is that the cheque be as small as possible. Also I don't believe you are a businessman, for one you don't seem to have a grasp of profit and loss, or even get the concept of balancing books.

    and might I add rather aggressive, typical of the yes voters.

    If the no vote wins this chap will take some beating in the ensuing mega beel stakes. :)
