The post you are reporting:
I'd love to live in a classless society Barry, but the simple reality is we don't. There are people less fortunate than you or I, which through no choice, are born into unspeakable circumstances and usually stay there. On the other side you have those born into the upper class and aristocracy, which do not have to work and get seat in the House of Lords. Social mobility in this country is one of the poorest in Europe. Capitalist will be pleased to know that this is something that you can measure in sterling, along with the fact that money does aid it! Being stuck in the same routines people have had a lot of time to define their class (although it is admittedly hard now), working class people are no more defined by the virtue 'they work' than they are by wearing flat cap and owning whippets, as you quite rightly point out we all work. The one trait that working class people do seem to have is an understanding of want and need, something that was largely diluted during the 1980's (I wonder why) by decadent consumerism. Being is the primary objective, over that of knowing or doing. Ironically we are becoming a tertiary nation as a result of entrepeneurs and as a result will become increasingly dependant on other countries and Europe.
What is too much tax? Perhaps what you mean is 'I object to people paying tax' I think it simplistic of Capitalists (more significantly the Regan administration) to try and sell such a crude and basic notion to substantiate ideas that actually transcend economics. It is painfully obvious that to tax 0% will created no revenue and 100% will result in making work pointless, but as for the rest of the variables the jury is out, and there is little coincidence that countries with higher tax than us have higher well being amongst their citizens(sorry you can't measure that one in sterling)
I object to you saying that Labour are on the left, because they quite simply are not. I do agree that so much of our money is wasted and ploughed into things that we, as the electorate, do not agree with. We are also in a state of poor system management where sectors of public service are a bureaucratic mess, the result of a poor government, past and present. However the elements that Capitalists seem to blame for inefficiency are services to society that don't have an relative input and output, eg sterling going in at one end and health, well-being or education coming out the other. Have I succeeded in bringing up my children if they are rich, or if they are safe and happy?
