Who knows? - to coin a phrase from a well known President - "Don't ask, Don't tell"

More socialist rhetoric. Put Dave Ward in there, barely a brain cell between his ears, a man you'd feel at home with. I'd suggest that the only ones that don't like it 'up em' are those that protest the most. The length of this thread makes that obvious :)

"

andy2007"]Tman. Do you have any comment, now that you know to which Fat Cats we were referring?

No, other than the people you refer to are hardly "fat cats" in the usual sense of the term.
I was using the term, in it's modern usage "The word has since acquired a meaning of a rich, powerful person of possibly 'undeserved' wealth." (quote from Wikapedia). To be honest. I didn't realise that it had been used to mean anything else. Until I looked it up, after reading your post. Still, we live and learn, don't we.

And in particular the fact that they aren't even in the same league, as REAL Businessmen. The ones who get there through effort, knowledge, and determination. Rather than just lining their pockets, with the fruits of other's labours. :

Well, yes, and that's what I've said above, but you don't really believe they're "just lining their pockets, with the fruits of other's labours." though, surely? A little over-dramatic, to say the least.
So what have they contributed?
They've created profits, by asset stripping, and extending Delivery times. But that's hardly a long term solution, now is it?
BTW, if you start spouting sentiments like-

REAL Businessmen. The ones who get there through effort, knowledge, and determination.
you'll have the Wolfies down on you. "Parasitical scum", as dear old TBT termed them a while back...
Surely you've read enough of my posts, to know that the only time I worry about what people think of my views. Is when I discover I was mistaken about something.

If someone has the knowledge, drive, and determination to succeed. Then I respect them. If they go from business to business. With short term plans, to turn a profit. And leave others to pick up the pieces. Then they have my contempt. It's as simple as that.

I was going to say all that, then couldn't be bothered, knowing the expected replies, but Andy,since you asked.........

Thanks for replying. It was intended as a serious question. The more everyone discusses things rationally. The better our chances of understanding each other's points of view.
