These moral arbiters occupying a fictional 'high ground' thunder out their denunciations of the bankers malfeasance, yet one does not have to dig very deep to uncover the stench of hypocrisy. Consider the Sports, Hollywood and Music ingrates who rabbit on about wall street corruption and their support of the 99% before jumping into their private jets to swan off to some new, expensive and often immoral indulgence.
In the West the money managers, entrepreneurs and risk takers suffer the slings and arrows of abuse because of a pantheistic worldview which promulgates the fiction that human development is destroying Gaia and that the advancements made with the advent of the industrial age are as a result of 'capitalistic greed'. I have even encountered a few who classify themselves as Christian holding this view. A contrary opinion to God I must point out, because He tasked us to; multiply, develop and build the earth in His first great commission, the Cultural Mandate.
Much of humankind's development of nature has in fact improved the environment, even where society has extracted minerals. Yes we need careful and considered government to make sure that our human tendency to avoid responsibility as well as to abuse one another is counteracted. This is the proper function of good government, to constrain mans inclination to do the wrong thing.
It is not the place of Government to actually operate businesses, this is a Marxist motivation; the control of capital and labour. And any cursory research into the aftermath of Communist ideology is an eye opening exhibit in the area of environmental responsibility. Not that you are apt to hear much about that from the 'useful idiots' in the main-stream-press of course.
There are many in this hubristic age who consider themselves more compassionate, forgiving and kinder than God. Secularists in particular are quick to parrot the more virile sections of the Old Testament (even those who have never read the scriptures in or out of context) as evidence that they are much kinder.
I believe that the moral collapse we are witnessing as our western society's moves away from moral benchmarks such as the ten commandments are the most important markers of behaviour irrespective of what field of endeavour people inhabit. Bankers are no more immune to this collapse in moral fibre than the courts of law (examples abound), neither are the large Supermarket chains and small business people, nor many, if not most who imperiously point their righteous fingers at the hapless banking industry. And one has only to spend a small amount of time in the company of the most vocal of these moral arbiters, journalists, artists and ratbag 'intellectuals', to see how hypocritical they are. The real causes of this post modern collapse in the banking industry, particularly in America is not as our government would have us believe, the fault of the bankers. It is in fact much to do with the federal powers interfering in and with the banking systems, just like the Wong's and Swan's would like to be doing in Australia:
Federal agencies with powers of economic life and death over banks and other lenders forced these lenders to lower their lending standards. The words of the regulators themselves are a matter of public record, and they sound like something out of "Alice in Wonderland." They ought to be quoted, to give the lie to claims that "deregulation" is the reason for the housing boom and bust. (Sowell 21.9.12)The 'class war' tactics of these ideologues is working. Like tyrants from every epoch and from every nation; if your ideas/rule/government does not work...blame someone else, preferably those who seek to replace you. And in this world of monstrously manipulative systems such as television, communications technology and the woefully biased 'education' system, those who rule these 'organs' rule the country. Hence the long march through the institutions as propagated and accomplished by the neo-Marxists of the 21st century.
