Not he's not. He's expressing a view. Why do you need to preface what you say by condescending remarks to suggest he's a bit stupid by falling into a "trap" whereas you have clearly avoided the trap? (Or at least that particular one that you have invented!).

You've been asked, every time you come up with this line, to explain it.

You never ever make an attempt.

Which may tell us something.

That it is a soundbite that has no explainable and rational thinking behind it to explain.

Tell you what, rather than whinging about semantics, why don't you come back with a reasoned argument about why you haven't fallen into that trap?

so, explain this, why is it people with f'k all that want people with more to pay?

The people in the food bank queues, are they the ones with f'k all or the ones with more?
The people who are working and having their benefits cut, the ones will will really suffer, are they the ones with f'k all or the ones with more?
The people who CAN stump up and help their fellow man, are they the ones with f'k all or the ones with more?


I am amazed you asked the question.

I am not amazed that you didn't explain what politics of envy means.

Those 'with' can pay more.
Those 'without' can't pay more.
Although no doubt you will struggle with this.

I guess you talking about 'a clue' was irony.
