Bankers and MP's

So now its the turn of those honourable members of parliament.

Voted for by us paid for by us the tax payers.Watching them and reading about them this week has made me think about whether or not God might be involved in this whole thing behind the scenes.
Is it him who is now revealing to us the results of our culture of greed.Has he decided that enough is enough and opened the door so we can all see what our country has become.I don't stand in judgement of any MP or banker who have reached out and grabbed all they can .But I do want to see our country move away from this culture that rewards simple greed.

Our country has rejected the idea that being productive is a good thing and run headlong down a path that put all its energy into finding more and more elaborate ways to steal money instead of working for it.
The banking crisis and this (expenses crisis ) for MP's are rooted in the same basic problem.Everything was hidden in complicated ways that we the punter were never going to find out on our own.The banks were able to come up with ever more complicated ways to sell money.No one tried to stop them .MP's were able to come up with a system of expenses that nobody really knew what they could or could not claim for .And through time they just claimed for anything.They governed themselves and now God has brought it out into the open for all to see.This is our chance to make sure we have not only a good open and accountable system but to root our the worst abuses of our trust.
