I disagree; there is a very fundamental problem around when unelected (unsackable) comfortably situated people with golden pensions who do not create wealth, sit in rooms devising intricate schemes for taxing wealth creators and moreover are completely isolated from the effects of their actions. And the problem is exacerbated by the absence of a signed-off auditors' account for the EU over something like fifteen years. Business leaders in this situation would be in prison by now. It is simply a scandal.

I'll leave software engineers to say whether or not they've ever had a 'real' job.
