Hi Bill,

Thanks for your response mate!

I don't know that everyone feels the system is rigged...that might just be a bit of wishful thinking there, and is certainly not my understanding of how many people feel. But it may be different in the circles within which you move... 🤷

And whilst I agree with your comments about the broad economic agenda, by definition most conservatives would not go along with an economic programme that increases the welfare state and looks to build a social umbrella for the less well off. I only have to trawl down the many insults and worse that I get called by Americans on social media...and it is always Americans sadly...for suggesting this should be the way. Many, I would suggest, are too wrapped up in their own monied capitalist world and their selfish egotistical narcissism to care about anyone else or the common man more widely.

So I agree and I don't agree. Thanks again...

Happy New Year!

Peter
