Economic Reform for a Fairer Society

UK Government
Only around a fifth of the workforce is involved with providing us with necessities - food; shelter; warmth; clothing. Whether we are rich or poor, working or not, the majority does nothing necessary.
However, income is very polarized, and most of the richest have no connection with providing the necessities. Whether you live off investment, work or are on benefits your money ultimately comes from the same place - other peoples’ pockets. The vast majority of money is spent on survival, it is a myth that we have a choice in the matter.
Society vilifies benefit seekers for being of no use, but it adores rich footballers and film stars even though they are completely unnecessary. It pays for them both. It is obsessed by wealth, but the way wealth is shared out has everything to do with corruption and nothing to do with morality.
The Earth cannot sustain this system. By the middle of the century there will be more people than there is food to feed them. Fuel will be in short supply, only the rich will be able to afford electricity and transport.
Not only is our system immoral but it encourages the squandering of resources that future generations will need. By making the world fairer now we would have more chance of a comfortable future. The longer we continue in this corrupt manner the more serious the future crisis will be.
We do have a choice. We can change. Please sign my petition for Economic Reform for a Fairer Society.
