Well, here we are. Continuing our march towards socialism.

Kevin Rudd, or Kevin Red as I now prefer to call him has blamed the global financial crisis on greedy capitalists. Maybe he's creating a 'monster' with the intention of turning Turnbull into the monster.
And what's more, he's going to stop people getting paid what their companies think they're worth! Hey, I think that some top executives get paid more than they're worth, but its not up to me, and its not up to the government.
If they negotiate the deal, then they negotiate the deal. Its up to them, not the government. Why stop there? Why not put a limit on how much the Wiggles and Kylie earn. After all, do they actually do that much to earn their money?
But now Kevin Red wants to bring down those nasty capitalists so they earn the same amount like the rest of us.
I dont understand why he says (in one breath) that we have a problem with greedy capitalists running our institutions causing problems, THEN says that we're well regulated and in a good position.
A lot of the blame has to be placed at the feet of the government who have always pushed for institutions to make credit available to lower income earners to a) let them buy houses and 'stuff' and b) keep the economy ticking along.
But its easier to create a monster, and then pretend to kill it, isnt it.
