In the steaming pile of shit dept: Public must learn to 'tolerate the inequality' of bonuses, says Goldman Sachs vice-chairman

what unparalleled arrogance...! what unadulterated crap...! this guy is obviously completely detached from the real world, that messy, not always soft and cushy place where most of us hang out...

One of the City's leading figures has suggested that inequality created by bankers' huge salaries is a price worth paying for greater prosperity.

In remarks that will fuel the row around excessive pay, Lord Griffiths, vice-chairman of Goldman Sachs International and a former adviser to Margaret Thatcher, said banks should not be ashamed of rewarding their staff.

Speaking to an audience at St Paul's Cathedral in London about morality in the marketplace last night, Griffiths said the British public should "tolerate the inequality as a way to achieve greater prosperity for all".

how's that trickle-down theory workin' for ya, eh...? you feeling "greater prosperity"...? me neither...
