Of those, 51 percent say even the banks that have paid the government back shouldn’t be rewarding their employees so soon.
That means you, too, Goldman Sachs.
There are a couple of nice man-on-the-street quotes here:
The fact that they’re even in existence should be bonus enough,” says Cassie Swihart, a 58-year-old retired registered nurse from Warsaw, Indiana…
“Why would you want to give somebody a bonus who put us into this situation?” said respondent Elijah Brown, 42, an unemployed union contractor from California.
This will only become more interesting as hard news of the year-end bonuses emerges.
if our federal govt does not tax our bankers, can governer patterson tax their bonuses or all of wall street bonuses for that matter, does he have the authority?
