A Smith: You will take notice that as the government gives itself raisies, it is those that are at the bottom that suffer in the cutbacks of services, amounts of money to live on and the increase of the layers in which a person goes through in just trying to obtain some help, meaning that the bureaurcracy keeps growing as we have seen which reaches out into the not for profit sector and for profit sector, which is now layer upon layer of the same thing. Everytime a piece of paper is filled out, someone is getting money, even though the person that is struggling gets nothing, except directed to another agency and another form to fill out, another piece of paper for that agency to get paid.

To give an example, if one loses their job to an injustice in the workplace, for someone who is a low income earner there is no justice. Some people out there seem to think that the laws cover this but the truth is that for many there is no justice, they cannot afford a lawyer to fight on their behalf and there is no legal aid for employment issues, thus leaving the person floundering having to deal with those that work for the system and some of them are quite nasty, power driven , authoritrian types who use intimidation and fear in the daily course of their jobs.

It is interesting that those who seem to think that they are entitled to things such as living wages, benefits, pensions are the very people that are part and parcel of denying others their rights to the same.

This is one example, yours is another, considering the fact that our liberal leader has openly stated that the values set by MPAC are overstated but they are not going to do anything about that, leaving it to the lower layers to deal with, which we know they will not.

People need to become more involved, to make them, the system, accountable for the dollars they take and spend.
