from a week in links do you actually have a job i think not you pay for all your things from my tax june 14 2011 do you actually have a job i think not you pay for all your things from my tax was messaged to me on facebook last week in response to me questioning a comment about reducing foreign aid it s ok though everyone hates people on welfare it s expected especially by politicians who have legitimised and revelled in the hate speech against us for many many years thing is though we are paying for the recovery poor people in britain are suffering from a far higher inflation rate than the rich according to research released today by the institute for fiscal studies ifs that shows the impact of soaring food and energy bills on those with the lowest incomes the thinktank said the least well off had experienced a higher cost of living than the wealthy for the past decade but that the difference had widened sharply since the long deep recession of 2008 and 2009 in a study that coincides with the release of new official data today the ifs said its analysis using the retail prices index rpi showed that the poorest fifth of households had faced an inflation rate of 4 3 between 2008 and 2010 compared to 2 7 for the richest fifth of households rpi inflation has continued to rise in 2011 and stood at 5 2 in april the study found that the doubling of energy prices over the past decade had disproportionately hurt poor households which on average spend twice as much of their income on food and fuel than the better o ff 19 6 of income on food and 9 4 on domestic fuel compared to 10 1 and 4 4 respectively for the richest 20 pensioners and in particular those dependant on state benefits have been hard hit by the increase in oil and other commodity prices over the past three years the inflation rate for a pensioner reliant on state benefits was 4 6 on average over the three years to 2010 compared to 4 3 for a pensioner not dependant on benefits the ifs said it added that there was a similar pattern for those of working age where the inflation rate between 2008 and 2010 for those on benefits was 4 compared to 2 9 for those not dependant on benefits well off households were also the main beneficiaries of the bank of england s decision to slash interest rates from 5 5 to 0 5 in 2008 09 in an attempt to lift the economy out of a recession that reduced the uk s national output by more than 6 the poorest 20 of households spend 1 7 of their budgets on mortgage interest payments as opposed to 8 7 for rich households rich households also spend more of their income on leisure goods where cheaper computers and mobile phones resulted in a sharp drop in prices of 23 8 between 2000 and 2010 the ifs said official poverty and inequality figures in recent years had failed to pick up the way in which inflation was bearing down hardest on those with the lowest incomes over the past few years relative price changes have tended to hit poorer and older households harder said an ifs research economist peter levell of course this pattern may well change in the future but it does mean that poorer households will have fared worse over the period of the recession than poverty and inequality statistics that don t account for these differential inflation rates would suggest the ifs said that in 2008 a year when the price of crude oil peaked at 147 90 a barrel the rpi rose by 4 but fuel pric es rose by 18 9 this rise in energy costs added 1 8 percentage points to the average inflation rate experienced by the poorest 20 of households but just 0 8 points to the rate experienced by the richest 20 in that year it said the thinktank said the department of energy and climate change predicted that fuel prices would continue to increase as a result of the trends in commodity prices and government policies designed to meet targets for use of renewable energy and to cut greenhouse gas emissions milly and ed milband and the rest of you fuckers whilst you

return to china in 1993 ai brought with him a commitment to conceptualism and a lofty notion of modernism which he saw as a kind of total interrogation of the human condition modernism has no need for
