It claims that things get harder - because we are more polarised.
I recently read an article (I can't remember where) claiming that nations are becoming less powerful and the increased polarisation in national politics (of many countries) is partly due to corporations and super-rich people escaping governance. Both Labor and Liberal (and similar parties in many other countries) seem happy to allow corporations to dodge tax and to tax us more instead. So they start a bitter war about who exactly among the non-rich Australians pays tax and use refugees as a distraction from the main issue of why big corporations don't pay tax. -- My Main Blog http://etbe.coker.com.au/ My Documents Blog http://doc.coker.com.au/
