Interesting response!
what makes you think i'm not familiar with hardship? your generation have an exclusive claim to it? didnt your generation enjoy hecs tax payer funded free uni education to gain your degrees qualifications that led to your prosperity later on - not to mention i did live in the UK for a few years 17 yrs ago, and lived and worked with the working poor here, not much has changed for them since WWII!
technology has a lot to do with our improved circimstances/lot than conservative idealogies i would think, specially in food production.
what side of politics started that war again?
I liked being poor there coz, SO many people are poor, that you dont feel singled out
or left out, its different when your part of a smaller group looking at all the prosperity around you, more like the million working poor homeless in the US must feel.
the dream i am referring to is that its all simply down to conservative policies and the enslaving of one half of the population will solve the other halfs problem of getting that 100th investment house/property subsidised with middle class welfare/ tax cuts/ neg gearing
