Well I have to say I do sympathise with the Greeks right now and all the austerity measures that they're having to go through all because of the dodgy dealings of the politicians and the rich who made plenty of money from the change to join the Euro all those years ago.
meanwhile we have our own austerity measures here I the UK also due to banking and have we seen one banker hauled over the coals for screwing up the economy here or in the US which triggered it across the world. No, not a one. What happens to them, golden parachutes. And then off to the next trough to feed on.
And when I read articles in The Economist justifying that they earn it and that they are a limited number of talented people. Sorry, in general it's a pile of crap. The people below are the talented ones. All they do is define strateg! Strategies which can either screw up companies, and I've seen some so called bosses bring companies to their knees. Or, it can drive them to innovate (Apple being one example but not the only one by any means) if they have the right ideas and good decision making processes. And when it comes to bringing countries and world economies to their knees, if that's called talent then maybe they're right.
if not, tax the hell out of them and if they want to leave then go, you c an @/,? right off and we won't miss you.

Right on brother ... completely agree; isn't it generally the case that the kids at school who haven't got much of a talent for anything else end up going into banking! Also the engineering PhDs who can't get a decent engineering job become backroom bankers, creating the gambling bots (algorithms) that run the whole investment show.
Treat the bankers a bit rougher - it might keep them keen ... to operate more ethically. Unfortunately our 'leaders' are all in bed together, keeping it sweet for banking-ville.
