    At the time this was filmed Joe had to know he was on the verge of making some serious money and he had already determined that material wealth was not an end all.Its highly unique and testemant to his vision that sucess wasnt a big house but rather a better world.

    haha balance is the only truth you will see all humans are devils and gods, when you are enlightened remember balance is the way the world has stayed where it is LONG BEFORE WE WERE HERE AND LONG AFTER WE WILL BE GONE. NOTHING IS EVERYTHING AND EVERYTHING IS NOTHING. PEACE IS DEATH HAHA the world will always has its own way of interpriting things as it provides balance to the nothing. circle of life. ridiculously complex and ridiculously simple. But no matter what you do you are it and it is you

    Why does anyone care about what a bunch of drunk fucks say about politics?

    Left wing politics is about the few political allies.

    The salary increases for the civil servants under Brown has been 12% a year.

    The average teacher or nurse has had no more than 3% a year. Brown gives his friends in the public services not the poor.

    Socialism is a racket.

    both left and right wing politics will have their “men in black cars”

    Exactly; ‘trickle-down’ is a complete myth. Those in the more modest income brackets act as the catalyst and the engine for greater wealth creation. It’s seen again and again throughout history- the more wealth that exists in the lower to middle income bracket, the more wealth that’s generated for all.

    What’s middle class? What’s working class? In North America, pretty much everybody with a job is “middle class”.

    Time to realize who “them” and “us” really is.

    “There’s nothing there. I’m sure of it.”

    Amen.

    Too bad Joe didn’t have a full-blown anarchist movement to vibe off like we do.

    Lib-soc. Not Ingsoc.

    Omg..this is old neoclassic..It is so crazy that still so many people in UK/USA believe in Hajek, Friedmann…
    The opposite is true: better wages = more consum = more demand for labour

    When working class people are left, then they get called egoist.
    When middle class peole are left, then they get called “bonhomme” or “rich”.
    kind of ironic
    But you do not have to be poor or rich to fight poverty.

    @nonameposter most socialists in the u.k come from middle class backgrounds kind of ironic
