Reference :- Mr Morrison has shown us how to buy votes from people using their own money .
Dear Mr Morrison , sir ,
I have to hand it to you , that plan to buy votes from young folk using their own money is sheer genius . I don't know how you do it . With the punters deserting the Tories in droves , and the pre-polling booths already disturbingly open , there is a pressing urgency to buy votes . Those 250 quid handouts are long forgotten , and if you shook any more spondula from the deficit budget piggy bank it would not be a good look.
But getting those whingers who wasted their money on smashed avocado breakfasts ( not a brand of cereal I have even heard of ) to use their own superannuation as a home loan deposit is a brilliant idea .
Of course , we all know that house prices will be pushed up , since there is a shortage of supply which is unlikely to be remedied for some time . But those superannuation funds will end up in the hands of the banks and their shareholders , where we can confidently expect they will be well managed . Sure , the housing market is already higher than a cat's back , and when the crash comes some folk might regret losing their superannuation . But that is down the track , and somebody else will have to say " sorry " .
The banks never stop declaring record profits , and if your policy is enacted that is sure to continue . I only wish I could afford to buy a few bank shares , but my mortgage is killing me .
Gabbo , who tends to overreact , reckons he has never seen a more blatant example of a policy that transfers wealth from the poor to the rich .
" Look Gabbo , superannuation is your money , you should be able to access it ." , I said
" It won't be your money if you give to the banks for an overpriced depreciating asset . " , Gabbo said .
" That may be true , but at least it won't be wasted on smashed avocado breakfast cereal . ", I said
" No , it will be spent on champagne breakfasts in the Cayman Islands . " , Gabbo said
What the hell does that mean ?
Your comrade , Ken
