  No this is not the 'politics of envy' but the politics of disgust. The nation is disgusted at fat cats larding it and this is why Vince Cable is on the pace with the public...they, the business leaders, pay themselves huge salaries and are not particularly or especially talented. Give the next guy the opportunity with a bit of on the job training and he could do it too. When these guys retire they are always replaced competantly.
  
  The bankers are a case in point ,stratospheric salaries, but while indulging them the country goes to its knees due to their high flying incompetance, and they themselves move off to the Cayman Islands or similar if we go bust. These guys and the business leaders in question are all themselves personally completely recession proof. Lets not forget that.
  
  There is some talk yes that the NI increase is a tax on jobs, will cost jobs, but the counterpoint to that argument is that when the economy picks up with this NI increase and other measures, the recession will eventually fade and the job market will flourish then anyway. The Conservatives are promising swingeing cuts to public services. To be fair they say "not frontline services" however 40,000 jobs will go according to the pundits.
  
  So on one hand you have a racing certainty that jobs will be axed under Conservative plans, and the possibility that jobs may..may..be axed under Labour.
