Those at the top never seem to be affected

WHETHER you call the actions of the Occupy Wall Street protesters the American Spring or describe those involved as anarchists or extremists, you should still be concerned at how those who were the architects of the economic collapse continue to be treated with kid gloves, and almost rewarded for the errors of their ways, while the rest of the population continues to pay for the greed of the former. It’s not just Ireland which has failed to deal with the issue.

This failure to deal with the cause of the economic problems will ultimately result in more of the same. And it will be sooner rather than later. Already our own bankers are baying for greater pay for the top dog.

The fallout from this economic mismanagement has resulted in austerity budgets being the order of the day throughout much of the western world.
