[lbo-talk] European cities hit by anti-austerity protests

[James Heartfield]

When I look at who are the recipients of government largesse, I think that you could cut spending by about half, and still improve the lives of working people (http://www.metamute.org/en/content/state_capitalism_in_britain). What passes for the welfare state is for the most part welfare for the very rich. Sadly, what cuts do fall will not fall on those.
