  "The State has no role in interfering with the remuneration given in private companies, that is a matter for the shareholders. As for the banks, the government is a shareholder in some of them and its influence should be restricted to that".
  
  If private companies and banks behaved with a degree of morality that may be ok Barry. However, what we see is a widening gulf between the rich and the poor in this country and it is getting harder to justify and to be tolerated. Capitalism, like Communism, is great in theory but what we are seeing is the inevitable individual human greed coming to the fore. Self-regulation has proved to be ineffective so someone needs to step up and the State should have the courage to do it. Sadly, so many of the 'State' are linked to big business and banks that we are seeing an abdication of that responsibility.
