Hi Baboonery, at the risk of making things personal you may wish to save your stinging wrath for those who deserve it most - I am sure you know who they are!
Oh and what a complex subject - there are those who do it as a vocation, those who have no ambition or need to earn more, and some of the consultants that I work with who wouldn't get out of bed for less than a nurse earns in a couple of weeks. But then they would argue that they know their worth, and where the money is. And these same ?1000 a day people would look down at public sector workers and say they aren't committed etc for their ?100 + a day. Trust me I've had the conversations.
come the revolution and there will be a few people up against the wall.
