I can't help but think of Basil's hilarious rant on
Fawlty Towers:

Another car strike.  Marvelous, isn't it?  The taxpayers pay
them
millions each year so they can go on strike.  It's called socialism.
If
they don't like *making cars* why don't they get themselves 
another bloody
job, like designing cathedrals or composing violin
concertos?  That's it! The
British Leyland Concerto,
in four movements,
all of them slow,
with a
four-hour
tea break in between!  I'll tell
you why, it's because they're not
interested in anything,
except
lounging about on conveyor belts
stuffing
themselves with my money!
