Class war distraction to conceal massive debt

May 10, 2012, 01:38 AM

Australians everywhere must understand one simple fact. John Howard inherited $96 billion debt from Labor.

He paid it off - and produced a handsome surplus.

But the Rudd and Gillard governments have been treating the national debt they created like some trade union boss’s credit card.

The result is Tony Abbott will inherit three times as much as John Howard did.

$300 billion of debt.

And like any debt it will have to be repaid.

By you - and your children.

The Gillard government is trying to distract Australians from this by preaching class war.

But these inner city elites hardly represent the working class.

Labor legend Kim Beazley snr. revealed what was happening to that once proud working class party as long ago as 1970:

“When I joined the Labor Party, it contained the cream of the working class. But as I look about me now all I see are the dregs of the middle class.”
