# 3663......and many will stay.Probably this group of `elites` have not been paying their `just dues` tax
for many years and a period of payback time will level the playing field........like a `wind fall tax` on easy payments.
Should be adopted in UK for a similar period until we have an ``appropriate `` tax system that sees all making their fair share
to the Treasury

All Banks and Finance Johnnies will not be trusted for many a lifetime.They caused the worlds financial problems
and are still doing so.....forget the odd minor side issues constantly being raised ......they are of little consequence
....in the big picture.......
Antony Jenkins admits 'it could take 10 years to rebuild trust in Barclays'
Chief executive says 'trust is a very easy thing to lose, and a very hard thing to win back'
Barclays' chief executive, Antony Jenkins, has said that it could take up to a decade for the bank to regain public trust in the aftermath of a series of scandals.
Mr Jenkins made the comment in a speech to students at Brooke House Sixth Form College in East London.
In the chat, which was broadcast on this morning's Today programme on BBC Radio 4, Mr Jenkins said: "Trust is a very easy thing to lose, and a very hard thing to win back.
"In my view it will takes several years - probably five to ten - to rebuilt trust in Barclays."
Barclays was the first bank to be implicated in the Libor scandal, in which traders rigged the London inter-banking rate, leading to a £290 million fine in June 2012, and the bank was also involved in the PPI mis-selling scandal.
Mr Jenkins vowed to restore Barclay's reputation when he was made CEO in August last year, after the Libor scandal brought down his predecessor, Bob Diamond. In February he revealed his plan to overhaul the bank by fundamentally changing the culture under which its traders operate.
He added in his speech that he hoped the future actions of Barclays would help rebuild confidence in the wider banking sector.
Mr Jenkins chose as his theme "the importance of long-term thinking and planning, and proper leadership".
"Trust is lost in weeks and months, and regained in years and decades," he said.
"My point is not that short term markets are bad or inaccurate. They serve a very useful purpose. It is susceptible to elevator analysis - this is up this is down. In addition to looking at the short term and what that tells us how do we focus on longer term drivers of the economy."

So what are you hand-wringers going to do about it all? Tax the wealthy excessively and the wealth goes away, making everyone poorer.
