Which Billionaire are you beholden to?

An oil Billionaire? Coal. Medical? Food? Electronics? Social Media?

Is there are part of your life that isn’t touched by some Billionaire that holds outsized control of some part of your life?

And do you like paying whatever they think the market, and not specifically you, can endure?

Will you agree with everything they do?

Do you enjoy being part of the system that supports their whims, their actions that can damage the world around us?

If they think they should pay less tax, that welfare is a waste of money, penalty rates are a luxury, clean water and air are an attack on their profits, are you happy for them to get their way?

Because that is the state of the world.

You, your family, breathing in smog, drinking tainted water, unable to afford decent food, paying through the nose to fuel a car to get to a job that no longer has penalty rates for working weekends or public holidays so a few Billionaires can but new mega yachts while paying less relative tax than you.

Sounds good?

You support this?

Think it sounds like freedom?

Cause I don’t.
