Did y'all see this?

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!

"Blood-sucking bankers!"

Ummmm...........you're repeating yourself.
Ignorance and fanaticism are ravenous. They require constant feeding.

wasnt the banker in the old westerns the greedy fat guy with the funky hat?
It's always darkest before the dawn.  So if you're going to steal your neighbor's newspaper, that's the time to do it.
