David Cameron says what he really thinks about poor people, with some help from this rap remix

If you were to ask Kanye West what he thinks about the British Prime Minister, he'd might say something like this:

David Cameron doesn't care about poor people.

That's the message of this delightful, depressing, and informative rap remix by internet comedy duo Mark Bolton and Steve Warlin, who perform under the name "Cassetteboy." 

Cameron has developed a real talent for sounding like a champion of unemployed and low-income Brits while advancing policies that hurt them. Take yesterday, for example, when he called the Tories the "trade union" for the "hardworking" in his speech at the 2014 Conservative party conference. As for real trade unions — what does Cameron think of them? In 2012, he called trade unions "threats to the economy." 

Huh.

So what does the imaginary leader of an imaginary trade union do? He passes laws like the Welfare Act of 2012, which capped various benefits and imposed a 25 percent tax on housing benefits for anyone whose homes were deemed to have too much space. And that was just the beginning. Cameron's imaginary trade union is now looking to cut a variety of benefits and tax credits for the working poor by around $6 million per year. And to help young unemployed people become hardworking members of his trade union for the hardworking, Cameron wants to set a six-month time limit on unemployment benefits for people between the ages of 18 and 21.

You can see how Cameron's words and his policies don't match up. Thankfully, Cassetteboy has fixed that for us.
