Another capitalist rant!

Oooooh it makes me blood boil!

On my morning rounds of the news websites I spotted a headline in the guardian that caught mine eye:

http://www.guardian.co.uk/executivepay/story/0,,1851785,00.html

Its quite shocking I think. Apparantly the bonuses paid to board room directors etc went to a total of £19bn this year, the same as the whole countries transport budget! Most of the bonuses paid to directors in London.

Wankers.

How can firms justify so many people working their hearts out on a shitty wage and getting little reward for it and at the same time pay huge inflated bonuses to the fat greedy fucks that sit at the top of the pile lording over us all?

The level of profits companies make is truly disturbing. The article says British banks made a combined profit of £33bn this year. 33 BILLION. Thats more money than I reckon anyone can imagine and is basically ripping the piss out of the consumer. We get charged £25 at least for going a tad over our overdrafts or because a payment bounces due to the fact we get paid a crap wage so those at the top can get a huge wage. They level these massive charges on us and then proudly post profits like that? They take 4 days to cash a cheque so they can sit on the interest a few days and in the mean time you and me sit with no money in our accounts waiting for it to clear so we can get at it!

lets lighten the mood with a cool off the cuff statistic! So lets assume that the average working day is 8 hours, 5 days a week, 52 weeks a year, thats 2080 working business hours in the year. That means they make a combined profit of £15,865,384 per working hour or £264,423 per minute. That makes me feel a bit sick.

Wankers.

I hate banks. I hate directors who get huge bonuses too. I am sure they deserve a decent salary but not at the rates they get, its just not required and I guarantee that people in the harsh service industries have just as much stress and do it for a billionth of the wage.

The article also confirms what I was saying yesterday at the British oil companies posting hige profits due to the 3 times increase in oil prices! How can they not be investigated for such blatant disregard for humanity and nature!

Its made me angry, probably for the whole day.

Why can't more ethical companies exist. Have you checked out the clothing label Howies? They are great as their attitude is perfect, just what a business should have. http://www.howies.co.uk
