the selfish party manifesto

Now is the time for all good men to come to the aid of the party. Tomorrow is the time for everyone else to come, when the food and drink have been consumed and the mess needs clearing up.

Self, self, self. Think only self.

Do what’s needed to protect your wealth

Increase taxes on the poor

When they squeal squeeze them more

Give tax relief to the wealthy

They need tax breaks to keep them healthy

Without their nouse and business acumen

We might as well just pack it in

They need the cash to re-invest

Into the schemes that they know best

Into mates’ stocks and buy-to-lets,

Insider trading hedging bets.

Automation’s cool, lowers costs and raises margins

Shrinking sizes, same price charging.

Self, self, self is their cry.

At end of day this is why we need to ask

Is making stuff our only task?

Was Darwin right all along

Our future to the strong belongs?
