Title: Blood-sucking bankers!
Post by: LOsborne on January 21, 2010, 07:59:46 PM
Did y'all see this?

http://www.dailyfinance.com/story/record-bonuses-at-morgan-stanley-despite-dismal-year/19324699/

Briefly, it says "hiking salaries and bonuses by 30% in 2009 to $14.43 billion, or 62% of total revenues at the bank -- the highest level in a decade." Back when I worked in banking (before I remembered I was a revolutionary) the unbreakable rule was that raises and bonuses were tied to the year's revenue increase. Morgan Stanley reported only a 15% gain. So they get raises AS WELL AS BONUSES that are double that.

Bankers are leeches. They produce nothing. They offer nothing. They do absolutely nothing to earn their compensation. I was going to say they are vampires, but recently vampires have become romantic. So instead, I just say, let's stake 'em, and cut off their heads!
