It just can't be a fair world.

A harsh statement?. Well if we lived in a perfect world then yes, to say it cannot be a fair world is almost like speaking the unspoken. But just for a moment let's look at the reason for that statement and see where it takes us.
To earn money and to keep a democracy alive and well we need 2 essential ingredients, pay and taxes. We get paid and out of that we pay taxes and from that our elected democratic leaders distribute those taxes to pay for services that we all need to get by in a modern world.

In principle it seems simple and to be honest it really is that simple. However, problems can and do arise, simply because human nature has a habit of being 'river like' in that it likes to follow the path of least resistance. If you offer someone an easier path to take the majority will take it and that is where we are at the moment.
To be successful in any area of business takes hard work and commitment with endless unpaid hours that take you away from your family and friends and ruin your social life. This sacrifice is on it's own bad enough but when you see people sat around while you juggle all these balls in the air taking a very nice living out of your toil that is when democracy starts to be called into question by the very people that built it and also the leadership that controls the funds you are paying in to it.

Not one single businessman or woman i have ever spoken to has an issue with paying tax. Surprised?. Well, to be honest I wasn't. Any business person worth their salt realises you only get out what you put in, something in-grained in your psych after a while and something all of us need to understand if we are to succeed and there is where the problem of modern day democracy lies.
While we are so busy looking after those that are less fortunate than ourselves we ignore at our peril, the breadwinners, the engine room of freedom, the very power house that keeps all the wheels firmly on the track and pointed in the right direction.
What we have amongst business people in the UK at the moment is a series of issues all making the larger issue much more dramatic than it should be.  Little or no help from the banking community, extra legislation, late payment of bills, fuel costs, health and safety issues, insurance costs rising at alarming rates etc etc, all that thrown into the pot that is 'recession' and you have a recipe for a very muted slow moving business world. 
In order to keep the wheels of industry turning, small to medium businesses need nurturing and encouragement. They need investment and guidance while building an empire and more importantly than that once built that empire should be protected not destroyed by taxes that get diverted to those who would not work to achieve or seek to make life impossible with legislation that has no place in efficiency.
That is where the title to this peace comes in, we need to reward those that get off their backsides as it were and chastise those that refuse to help build the society we all wish for. As in nature the fittest survive, harsh but fact. It's how Mother Nature has survived all these years, it's the law of the jungle. 
Now, of course I am not advocating throwing all the weaker people in society to the wolves on Monday morning, far from it, but we must learn to take more notice of where the very blankets we shelter under actually come from, if you enjoy the benefits of free speech and freedom to be yourself then at some point regardless of your position you have to contribute to that society or it starts to fall apart.
Bonuses paid to Bankers and business leaders are not where society should be looking to put it's house in order, yes it's true the numbers are obscene but they are relative to earnings. If it's a high powered job then it needs a high power salary, that's how it works or why would the very best people in the world be in our country? ..it's human nature at work again, it happens at the top of the tree and it happens at the bottom, who is right? the businessman getting a bonus of 1 million pounds from shear hard work or the guy on benefits at the end of the road that does a little work for cash to supplement their pay? it's all relative, £30 to the man down the road is a tidy sum of money the same as if you are on huge monthly pay and enjoy a bonus, one is still legal, the other is breaking the law. We need to appreciate those that bring work to our doorsteps and look after them, yes more so than those that choose not to work. That's how it should work and that's how Mother Nature survives.
