  Time perhaps for a re-examination of the works of Karl Marx.. Das Kapital springs to mind, if only for the social aspects. Clearly capitalism is in the cesspit. As Alexander says above there in post 4 "Highly paid managers milk the economy dry" and in the current climate who can argue with that.
  
  Lets not forget Bob Diamond was within weeks of having bonuses totalling £20,000,000 ...an awesome staggering sum, but for doing what pray?? If he hadnt been found out he would have been paid all that money yet his performance was merely poor to mediocre if not downright crooked...as was the performance of the previous notorious banker Fred Goodwin. A pattern is emerging here...high rewards for mediocrity. Executive directors back slapping and rewarding each other across boardroom UK whether they are actually any good or not.
  
  It is often argued that rich men create wealth...but no, people with vision create wealth. Guys like these cream cash off and out of the system and put nothing back of note.
  
  Capitalism has an ugly side and the public are seeing it now. The lower end, the workers, are losing jobs on a grand scale, paying for those in high positions. Someone has to pay the bill, the workers are paying the bill.
  
  Lay thousands off but I still collect my bonus...so Im alright jack!
