Well this confirms what we expected.
The New Economics Foundation think tank calculate that Bankers effectively take £7 from the rest of us for every £1 they create. The report says advertising executives and tax accountants destroy even more of society's wealth as they create their own. Childcare workers, by contrast, free up potential wealth by helping parents keep working - generating up to £9.50 for every pound they are paid. Waste recycling workers generate £12 for every pound. Hospital cleaners generate £10 for every £1.

So why not have different tax bands, not based on the amount of pay, but on the jobs value to wider society?
