Shamelessly Cameron believes the interests of billionaires are far far more important than normal, hard working people in the street.
The shame of the Tories, where the interests of the common man come a very sad second to the interests of rich and powerful fat cats.

Blindly attacking "capitalism" is just a lazy way of not bothering to think. There might be aspects of capitalism worth an attack but the whole thing? Hardly.
