THE BARREL

It dawned me the other day as to what European politicians are doing to their people. It's quite simple. Austerity means that that they are scrapping the bottom of the barrel to collect money to pay of their mismanagement of Europe. This is done in opposition to creaming the top of the barrel. If you believe in the 80/20 rule, which states that 80% of the wealth is held by 20% of the population, then you can see that governments have to scrape a huge chunk at the bottom to get the same amount as creaming a small portion at the top of the barrel.
