Don't cry for me South Australia : Comments

By Malcolm King, published 3/10/2014

But it's the middle class who know that the system isn't working. That for all the promises made, few have been kept. They will ultimately push for radical change.

You've got to laugh. I cross posted this article on a pro-development site in Adelaide called Sensational Adelaide late last week. I'm generally pro-development but on a case-by-case basis.

I got back from holiday and found some very curious comments, including one from an old client, who appears to have lost the plot too.

My satirical article (with some facts) was met with, "ignore him", "why don't you just leave", "please, F-off", and "ban these pricks."

Sensational Adelaide? Most of the time. I have been generally pro growth but it's time we had a look at the formation of attitudes in Adelaide over the last 30 years - the good and the bad

Yup,

12 years of state labor tends to wreck the economy in any state.

Interest rates are far too low! I think it disgusting that my savings are someone else's extravagence!
Socialism relies on other people's money and do not forget Margaret Thatchers advice "Socialism is OK until you run out of other people's money".

JBowyer, higher interest rates benefit the idle rich while making it harder for those who aren't already rich to make money. Rather than encouraging people to do nothing with their money, it's better to encourage people to do something useful with it, like installing solar panels.

Thanks for the advice Aiden but I already have six panels on my roof and they gave me neglible savings. Also only a socialist who abhors work would use the term "Idle". I had my first part time job at 11 and retired this year aged 67. My taxes paid for you and my savings prop you up but I would never expect anything but abuse from you lot!

JBowyer, I understand how you could think that anyone who would use the term "idle" is a socialist, but I'm rather puzzled as to how you can come to the conclusion they abhor work. Please explain?
