講起中產所受嘅待遇真係火都來，在香港雙職家庭，有一個兩個細路，月入五萬，表面就風光！
但又要供樓、供車、養老豆老母、養細路、請工人、交稅------連同每月幾拾樣支出，真係所餘無多！
反而果嗰啲伸手黨，政府為左買拒哋怕，就成日有嘢益拒哋！   
政府賞懶罸勤，打劫中產濟基層，但又唔敢動大孖沙一根毫毛！   
香港任何階層都有議員同拒哋發聲，去爭取權益，就只係中產階層無！   
         
就算有都係流嘅，只係騙我哋嘅選票，因為我哋中產好蝦？？我哋蠢？？真係火滾！！

每天 8時半便要上班，有返工時間無放工時間，最快都要晚上8pm才下班，回到家都要晚上9pm-10pm，無家庭生活，加埋工作壓力，相信退休後只得一身病痛，但除哂交稅及所有開支，就多餘無幾，點解唔立法設最低工作時間，違規犯法，好似最低工資咁，唔好靜係幫注Ｄ商家好嗎？政府對我們中產就是這樣！真係想要綜緩唔做工啦，可以多Ｄ時間見吓仔女啊！

同意6樓中產銀行職員。

我都做過銀行工，又冇OT錢又受氣又大跑數壓力，真係做死人！

查實個個港人都唔夠瞓，嚴重影響工作時集中程度。老闆階級以月薪請人當然想用到盡，但有冇想過因工作效率下降引致的Productivity Loss呢？

我絕對唔同意工時長等於生產力高，最佳例子係德國---人家每天返工8個鐘，效率高得神奇，又科技又汽車又醫藥......數得出的現代工業產品都係以德國出品最頂尖最受歡迎，而家仲係歐洲經濟火車頭，歐盟及歐元未來由德國話事！

以二戰戰敗國身份發展至今，你話服未？

Besides, the German has just settled all the compensation due to lost in WWII.

Anyway, in our everyday life, we should not punish those who work hard.  If we abuse our resources in ever expanding social security, it will only reduce productivity and innovation.

香港最近朝福利主義進發，與香港的政治環境有莫大關係。

香港雖然實施一國兩制，但中央政府對香港的影響力與日俱增。在這樣的大環境下，香港的泛民政黨，註定無法執政。一個無法的執政的政黨必然是不當家不知柴米貴。而且他們存在的價值完全視乎民意支持的多寡，多數民眾並無政治遠見，要得到多人支持，最好的辦法就是爭取廣派福利。同時一個無法執政的政黨，永遠也不需要為自己的言行負上真正的責任。

要解決這種尷尬的局面，無非兩種方法：

1）徹底實行民主制度，讓各政黨有機會通過競選執政，因有執政的希望，各政黨就會變得較理性，而不是像現在那樣嘩眾取寵。

2）若第一條不可行，倒不如實行威權政治，至少政府的決策效率可大大提高，若有適當的機制監察政府的賢能與清廉，也不失為可行之路。

Bernanke Signals Fed Ready to Ease on EU Risk

Federal Reserve Chairman Ben S. Bernanke signaled he’s concerned Europe’s crisis will hobble a 2 1/2-year U.S. expansion that may need another boost from the central bank.

The Fed’s policy-setting panel, which met in Washington yesterday, said the economy “has been expanding moderately,” compared with the Nov. 2 assessment that growth “strengthened somewhat.” At the same time, the central bank added a reference to “apparent slowing in global growth,” and said that “strains in global financial markets continue to pose significant downside risks to the economic outlook.”

Bernanke and his colleagues may be considering more measures to aid growth and improve public understanding of Fed policy, which could be unveiled as soon as their next meeting taking place Jan. 25-26, said Julia Coronado, chief North America economist at BNP Paribas. The Fed reiterated that it expects joblessness to drop “only gradually.”

“They still see downside risks, so I still think they’re tilted toward easing,” said Coronado, a former Fed researcher who is based in New York. She said she expects a new round of asset purchases in the second quarter, or as soon as the January or March meetings should the economy deteriorate faster.

The “recent strength in data” allows Fed officials to “be a little more patient than they otherwise might be,” Coronado said.
