Greetings Anthony;
                 Wages and conditions in todays private sector are 
difficult at the best of times,you don't know whether to take your union 
or a lawyer to negotiations. For years now wages and conditions have slipped 
back verses inflation,which has steadily climbed.I think that there isn't 
much difference between politicians these days, this is due to the fact 
that none of them live in the real world.

Do you think Mr Howard worries about;
Shopping bills
Mortgage payments
Car registration
Land taxes and rates
Medical costs
Childrens education

It is about time our politicians got in touch with the real world and 
acted in the best interests of the people that is the voting middle 
class. After all we live out their policies every day.

You have my sympathies
Regards
Stress
