We have the same problem........fat cats being paid billions in bonuses for a complete failure of their duties. Now the way I read it these bonuses should have been as a percentage share of profits made from their work...so if the business fails how come they still get paid bonuses?......which actually is paid for and comes from the bailout money. Talk about being robbed and then having to pay the robbers again for the privilege. They should have instead been sacked and possibly imprisoned as a lot of their shenanigans were illegal. We were told that the banks would simply move to another country.... and stop investing here.... so we had to kowtow to them. ....well bye bye and good riddance should have been the government reaction. Nationalising the banks would have meant proper regulation and all future profits would stay in the country to benefit all the population not just a few individuals.
Anyways I have changed my avatar to show my feminine side...and to show that due to the current financial climate to make ends meet I have had to diversify and take on other jobs rather than just singing....the latest is a washerwoman.
