I watched some of A Current Affair (ACA) tonight. There was a story about a pub owner who has shut up his business in a storm of protest over how unfair property taxes have forced him to the wall.

I am not sharing my opinion about the story, or property taxes in general, because I can't be arsed. What did get me riled up was the end bit where drinkers were given a few seconds of air time each, and the thread ACA chose to edit together and air was about Labor. The punters seemed to be saying that they were traditional labor-voting types, but that may change because they thought Labor was for the Workers - and look at the poor publican, what's Labor doing for him?!

I think it's a sad state of affairs when 'Labor people' can't spot a worker anymore. See, the publican pays his staff a wage and keeps the profits made with their sweat and blood. Thus - he is an (evil) Capitalist.
