Moral politics!!!!!!!

I reprint Martin Durkin's blog as is, for I could not say it any better:

POLITICIANS CALL FOR 'MORAL CAPITALISM' - the criminals are scolding their victims

Politicians from all sides have come together this morning to demand a new kind of ‘moral capitalism’.   Capitalism ought to be ‘responsible’ and should not be ‘rewarded for failure’.  Oh shame, where is thy blush?
These are the people who, desperate to buy votes with the money of others, tax and spend with obscene profligacy.  These are the people who, voracious in their appetite for office and contemputous of our desire to hold on to our earnings, borrow terrifying mountains of cash in our name, to be repaid by us and our children with interest.  These are the people who have printed money with such abandon, for decades, robbing ordinary people of their savings, destabilising the financial system, and creating the phony boom which has resulted, and can only ever have resulted, in the disastrous crash which has brought us to edge of ruin.
These self-serving, shamefaced and irresponsible politicians, whose yearning for power has profoundly distorted and corrupted the ordinary patterns of exchange which makes capitalism beneficial to us all, these odious creatures have the nerve to tell us to be more ‘moral’ in our dealings with each other.  They should choke on their words
