The Gods of the Copybook Headings
(Part 7)
In the Carboniferous Epoch we were promised abundance for all,
By robbing selective Peter to pay for collective Paul;
But, though we had plenty of money, there was nothing our money could buy,
And the Gods of the Copybook Headings said: “If you don’t work you die.”
Rudyard Kipling
High pay for unskilled work, welfare, inflation, and empty shelves. Nah, never happen!
A hundred years is just enough time for the wheel to come all the way around again.
