Good answer sir
Lets get our cash back from the banks, and tell the bankers to fuck off.
Their input into the economy is remarkably still less than science based production. Unfortunately, we give money to the problem (bankers) and cut funding to the solution (research).
Burn london.

You actually thought I was supporting you?
Ok then, lets kick all the bankers out.
Can I come to you for a mortage then? I could carry on renting but that would be supporting the tory land owners wouldn't it. I plan on buying a house and setting up a collective of children and cats.
I would rather not burn london, seeing as I live there. Also I don't think we've been keeping up with the insurance payments so we'ld get nowt.
Research into what? I already fund research into various things.
I am currently researching programing objective C and cocoa touch.
Can I come to you for a grant so I can quiet my day job?
Fuck this, I should be studying instead of writing this so i'll leave with this.
Capitalism only works if people believe in the lie that a piece of paper has value.
Socialism only works if people believe in the lie that the person next to them has value.
Anarchy only works if people believe in the lie that rules have no value.
Fundamental religious society on works if people believe in the lie that they themselves have no value.
So by all means pick your lie and start fighting to defend it, but don't bullshit yourself into thinking it's no more than a comfortable lie that will stop you screaming in the night.

well
I a currently finishing a degree in maths
Paid for by myself, with no support at all from government funds.
The point is that the capitalists tell everyone that government funding is bad.
Then come whining for it.
Then give themselves the cash.
Take all of the money away from them, they are not worth it.
And no, no mortgages, you just end up with old people sitting in houses too big for them while young people cannot afford a shoebox to live in.
Look at the rest of europe to see why home ownership is not an issue.
Burn london.

Really?
"Paid for by myself" is somewhat unlikely, unless you've voluntarily taken it upon yourself to write your university a cheque for the shortfall between the current level of fees and the actual cost of your tuition which is currently subsidised by the government. I presume you didn't take out a loan at preferential rates either.
Running a country is a vastly complex process with innumerable interconnected parts. Simplistic reductionism does nothing to further the debate.
