""Per pagare le tasse non basta più il reddito, si attaccano anche ai soldi risparmiati". Questo è il nocciolo. I parassiti (banche finanza politici) hanno spolpato lo spolpabile. Siamo arrivati al 55% di imposte dirette. Uno scalino in più e il lavoro non basterà neppure a pagare il cibo e la casa. E a questo punto verrà il bello. Perché finalmente ci si chiederà "Ma cosa lavoriamo a fare? Per morire di fame basta non fare nulla, perché lavorare 8 ore al giorno per lo stesso risultato?". E ALLORA SCOPPIERA' TUTTO, QUANDO I PARASSITI NON AVRANNO PIU' CHI PRODUCE, COSA MANGERANNO. SE IL CONTADINO NON COLTIVA LA TERRA; SE IL PANETTIERE NON FA PIU' IL PANE, come sopravviveranno se non ci sarà più nulla? Chi si è sempre arrangiato saprà come arrangiarsi, ma chi è sempre vissuto sulle spalle degli altri, come farà? I grandi predatori non si estinguono perchè uccisi, ma quando si estinguono le prede: semplicemente muoiono di fame." Patrizia B.
