John; No. We each determine our own morality. The existence of kleptocrats does not give me license to behave like them in any moral system that I know about. Yes of course we are responsible for our own morality - but I'm talking a societal morality. What we as a society accept as fundamentally fair and honest. If you have people at the top skimming their earnings unproductively from tax payers how in the world do you expect those tax payers who are hard working ordinary citizens to accept mediocre wages? They're not going to. If you watch and see bankers or corporate managers making insane money betting money that is not theirs and then watch these bankers give nothing back to society but instead live a lavish lifestyle that a teacher can only dream of - you really think the problem is at the teacher level? You start at the top. If you have a losing football team, you can place the blame on the Gatorade boy if you want - but that isn't going to make you a winning team. Steve
