No to Bankers Dictatorship - Support Public Sector Workers Leaflet

NO TO BANKERS’ DICTATORSHIP IN BRITAIN AND EUROPE In Italy and Greece, elected governments have been replaced by unelected bankers.Where next?

THIS IS A COUP AGAINST DEMOCRACY. The bankers and the EU demand even deeper cuts in public services, pensions and benefits.

They want more privatisation.And they call for scrapping employment and trade union rights.

The bankers want to drive down taxes on the rich and big business profits.They want more public money for future bank bail-outs BRITAIN ALREADY HAS A BANKERS’ DICTATORSHIP. Cameron and Clegg took office to follow the bankers’ agenda. Nobody voted for a Tory-LibDem coalition, whose policies were opposed by the LibDems in the 2010 General Election.

THAT’S WHY THE COMMUNIST PARTY SAYS; ● Defend public services, benefits and jobs ● Stop the privatisation of schools and hospitals ● Oppose new EU controls over Britain’s budget

PUBLIC SECTOR PENSIONS? WE’RE ALL IN IT TOGETHER! Five reasons why YOU should support decent pensions for public sector workers: 1 Good quality public services need fairly rewarded public servants.

2 We need decent state, private sector and public sector pensions - an attack on one is an attack on us all.

3 All workers should have enough time and money to enjoy their retirement.

4 Forcing workers in the public or private sectors to work longer denies jobs to Britain’s one million young unemployed.

5 Public sector pensions are being degraded to prepare for privatisation of our main public services.

CAN BRITAIN AFFORD DECENT PENSIONS FOR ALL? Public services are being cut by £61 billion over two years. But £1,425 billion has been paid or promised to bail out Britain’s banking system.

The richest 10 per cent of the population own £4,000 billion in personal wealth (plus more hidden in tax havens) – as much as the rest of us put together!

THAT’S WHY THE COMMUNIST PARTY SAYS: ● Slap a Wealth Tax on the super-rich ● Put a windfall levy on big business monopoly profits ● Invest in housing, transport and renewable energy

IT’S CAPITALISM WE CAN’T AFFORD. TAKE THE ROAD TO SOCIALISM WITH THE COMMUNIST PARTY Name
