Every passing day confirms the fact
that, in this country, we live in two different worlds. While you and
I are doing so well living in houses with an extra bedroom, we have
to have an extra tax, we enjoy the pleasure of workfare placements
without salary, we are doing too well on disability benefits, that
the government is obliged to cut them, we are wallowing in zero hours
contract on the minimum wage. Those poor mid-ranking bankers are
struggling on £500,000 annual salary.
An extract from E Financial Careers:
“People here are already carrying a lot more debt than they used to,” said a senior manager at one European investment bank in London – again speaking off the record. “A member of my team has a £750k mortgage on his house, which is a huge burden for him. A lot of other mid-ranking people here can’t afford to live in Zone 1 and are having to move out to Zones 3 or 4 – which is difficult when you’re a VP-level banker working very long hours.”
Doesn't your heart bleed for these
people? How on earth can they afford a Ferrari or Porche, their whole
lifestyle is being jeopordise, if the don't get that big fat bonus
and a substantial salary increase. Some of them have probably
abandoned they idea of a yacht for next summer.
I'm finding things very tough at the moment
This is the obscene inequality that
this system is built on, a society where those parasites in the
millionaire class ooze sympathy for those who can't get by on
£500,000 a year. While stating that those, that produce every
article that the parasites posses and every service they enjoy, will
have to make sacrifices and tighten their belts.
I don't see that rationale and
discussion will sort out this inequality, I can't see that group who
feel that it is difficult to get by on £500,000 a year, and their
millionaire bosses, sitting down to sort out the real inequalities in
this society. There will have to be another method, and that will
have to come from those of us living well below the level of the parasites' £500,000
poverty line salary.
