this is bullshit and i can see how people would assume you are a 'tory boy' by this statementbankers work the hardest? that would be an insult to a lot of peoplewhat about say...all the public servies? firemen, police, nurses, teachers, all work hardand they are paid way way less, but also play an important role in societyon top of thatpublic services are now being forced to operate on a reduced budget, coz the government have bailled out bankers who out of greed have been lending at irresponsible and reckless levels.I think you'll find it's a lot, lot harder to be an investment banker than it is a nurse, fireman, policeman, or a teacher.It's the way the world works. To get to that stage, you have to work f*ck*ng hard. Harder than you can imagine.You're straying into a different argument here. We're not talking about contribution to society and morality. We're talking about being the best in your field, being rewarded for it, then being demonised for it.Do you know any bankers?These guys ain't like the Peter Joneses and Ducan Banntynes of the world. You can't get there through hard work and brains alone.These guys parents sent them to the right schools and knew the right people, intelligence doesn't even come into it. Most are thick as f*ck. As for working hard, they're down the pub at 5.05 every day mate. I like when people from working class backgrounds make it good, but Britain is one the worst countries in the world in terms of social mobility. All because of the *poke, poke, wink wink* between the upper middle class.
