I'm especially pissed off at the taxman today, as I've just found out that my airport tax will be greater than the fare on my flight to Hong Kong.

I think it is appropriate you began that with "I'm" because it enables it possibly be filed under what it belongs: "Irony".

As for the picture, that has been hovering around economic thought, from since the industrial revolution, and probably after concerns of Malthus  were found to not be accurate.  That situation has been ducked for awhile now, but there is no guarantee it can't happen or won't happen.  The End of Work goes into saying it is going to happen eventually also, and we need to deal with it, through the use of NGO sector employing people to help better the community.
