It Looks more like the tactic of "threaten them with something big but in reality intend to take only a Little" so that when the "U-turn" on this Comes and only a small amount is removed it appears like nothing..sort of saying "I´m going to take 50% of your Money " and when the resistance starts "ok, I´ve seen sense, I´ll only take 10%" It was always the intention to take 10%.. buy one get one free in reverse. <br />The last paragraph is more like what´s Happening..they are Strip mining the Country for all they can get, and in the knowledge that the vote can be rigged if they want to remain to cream off anything that´s left..and if anyone goes onto the streets..they´ve got enough bully Boys to stop it..and if it gets to heavy..well there´s always the "anti-Terror" laws that can be twisted into a workable shoot to kill policy.
