It seems they are, not surprisingly, full of hot air. Why just the bankers? Why not sportsmen? What are they doing about it?

You’re another Coward Commentator ie: one who provides witless bile withjout being able to be held personally responsible for it.

He has solutions, it isall about greed. A CEO on $9m must be bad, musn't it? After all, they are wealthy, and in Rudd's socialist ideal that's just not right. Yeah, he says he's not a communist, but he looks like Chairman Mao, speaks Mandarin and has clearly spent time reading Marx. <br />You wonder why business rejected his pleas yesterday? Why wouldn't they. They attacked business over the workfroce. They decided to tax luxury cars, unless you are a farmer. In all, the amount of a dead red policies rolled out under this man would make Gough Whitlam feel proud. If it looks like a socialist, talks like a socialist and maks policy like a socialist - it is a socialist. And that also makes him confused, or a liar. <br />He has no answers. He thinks forking out government money to prop things up will help, yet history says it can't and won't. He and Swann are so out of their depth it isn't funny, and yes he is alreayd on course to be our worst ever leader. We had a strong economy that crumbled on the back of a lack of confidence after his election. Yes, the rest of the world went ba, but that happened a few times under the last leader and we did OK. I'm not a great fan of Howard in terms of his social policy, but at least his government could run an economy. <br />You voted for him, not me. Unfortunately I am stuck with the creten fiddling around the my family's future. Might move overseas where hard work is a worth something. Chairman Rudd says he’ll fix it all.

Andrew economies do not change as fast as what you are suggesting unless really extreme fiscal or monetary action is taken - which of course hasn't happened. The reality is that this country is better off than many other but is by no means immune to what is occuring else where. A bit of socialist thinking might actually do us good to reverse some of the neo-liberalist greedy thinking that was encouraged by the previous government. Andrew where would you go that it will be better than here? The USA? The UK? Germany? Or maybe China?
