This is the other thing. Worry about what you can control. Who has a greater ability to effect some sort of social change? Murray Edwards or me?
Murray Edwards, hands down.

I'm not totally sure I understand your general premise anyway. You start chitter chattering about people needing to work harder and a squeezed out middle class and so "do you want money or not?" and then you move onto "where did I say we need to be spectacularly rich and work 80 hour weeks".

So colour me confused with where you're headed here. Not really all that interesting a debate anyway to be honest.

And yes, sometimes people need help. If you think it's because of a lack of motivation or that people will milk a system so others solve their problems, then good for you. I don't think it's so black and white when the problem is so complex.
