Sinner's or just like you and me?

Over the last year or so I have heard a lot about how the financial fat cats have sold us out and should you listen to most of the 'experts' you would be lead to believe that the world is over and we should all give up. Now we all know the worlds economy is not in great shape and the blame seems to be laid directly at the feet of the banks and the government.
Now I cannot argue with this, basically the whole system of world economy and world policy is grounded in people who are looking after themselves which for the overall populas doesn't bode well, but my question is if you were in their position WOULD YOU BE ANY DIFFERENT?
my answer is NO and i will fight to the death 99% of people who try to convince me otherwise because I dont believe it.
If you found a way at your job where you could make a little extra cash would you not do it? Now enlarge the scale of my immediately previous example and say you were a stock broker or politician then think of the total number of people who are all 'skimming off the top' to benefit themselves and realise that we are all opportunists.
We are all screwing over 'the man' in the same ratio (opportunity:total value) as the 'people in power'and until realise that we all created this situation due to the fact we are a selfish race, and until we realise that we are all taking a short cut here and there or taking a little bit here and there and therefore contributing equally to the problem we have now.
It is all about opportunity and scale - Your racking a cheeseburger or skimming some change at your job without any regard for the company is the exact same thing and the CEO's and politicians racking some benefits and taking a bonus without any regard for the country............
YET WE ALL POINT FINGERS - look in the mirror people and don't expect from others what you cant promise yourself
