Taxpayer: I know my place. I look up to them both; but while I am poor, I am honest, industrious and trustworthy. Had I the inclination, I could look down on them. But I don't.
Gordon Brown: We all know our place, but what do we get out of it?
Fred the Shred: I get a feeling of superiority over them.
