ordinary voters, small businesses and the self employed are constantly monitored, checked, called to account in an increasingly more oppressive and intrusive manner by the various government institutions.The incompetence of our elected and unelected leaders rarely suffer any personal financial restraint they are untouchable.They continue to reward themselves their snouts ever deeper in the trough while private pensions have been plundered to fill holes in poorly thought out economic policies.Who can we turn to and who is powerful enough to stop the gratuitous indulgencies we have to witness by our masters?
