(does being the least worst make it good then?)
The Labour leader Ed Miliband said he has nothing against the rich – as long as they made their money "the hard way".( what about FAIR or DECENT stealing from the poor can be very hard work)
In an interview with the Daily Telegraph Miliband said he will not "pass moral judgment" on people who have
(then who will) made fortunes but insists their wealth comes with responsibilities.
He said the last Labour government was too ready to accept that businesses and financial services needed "light touch" regulation.(they followed the Tory lead as you are now)
However, he says the "creativity" of capitalism should be harnessed and made "more decent" and "humane".
"I believe capitalism is the least worst system we've got," he said.
(does being the least worst make it good then?)
He also acknowledged the merits of Margaret Thatcher's aspiration agenda.
Asked whether it is good to be rich, he replies: "Yes, if you make it the hard way. It's not for me to pass moral judgment."(then who will)
When Tony Blair was prime minister, Lord Mandelson said New Labour was "intensely relaxed" about people becoming "filthy rich", comments which look misguided after fives years of financial and economic crisis.
The Labour leader is keen to show that he is a centrist and can appeal to voters who would consider voting Conservative.(the centre of the right wing makes you er! right wing or am i missing something)
Ralph Miliband, his father, was an anti-capitalist of the Marxist left but the Labour leader said he does not think as his father did.(honour your father fight for the downtrodden)
"My dad was sceptical of all the Thatcher aspirational stuff," he said. "But I felt you sort of had to recognise that what she was talking about struck a chord. I want to save capitalism from itself."
(hanging people always strikes a chord mob rule but is it right?)
