Money is worthless, ergo all bankers are parasites.
It is, afterall, only a convenient way of exchanging goods and services, you exchange your labour (service) for Mini parts (goods) the value of which is mostly the labour (more services) of the people who made them and put them on the retailer's shelves. The catch is you're a consumer of goods and services from the day you're born and you can only balance the books if you're fortunate enough to have someone else pick up the bills or you live in abject poverty until you've earned enough to pay cash. Banks take your surplus money and lend it to someone else, who borrows it because living in a cardboard box beside the M25 isn't a viable option if you want to engage in society and work. The banks hive off a disproportionate amount of the repayments which devalues the labour of creditors and borrowers alike. Inflation is the result. Inflation is increasing costs and costs are principally made up of labour - everyone works harder to maintain the same buying power - except the bankers and well off who lend money in return for ever increasing amounts of labour. The rich get richer, everyone else works harder for not much gain and we consume more and more of the earth's resources to damage it in the process.
It's a bizarre system when our science and technology is doing its best to pedal in the opposite direction
