Banker bonuses to fall 20-30%

I feel so bad, don't you?  Wall Street has a tough bonus season with the average managing director only taking home $900K this year.  High percentage of overall comp or not, many of these people sit in seats with a view that we great unwashed are not privy to.

Just like many overpaid CEO's of publicly traded companies do not deserve the ungodly sums they loot, many Wall Street traders - in my opinion some little more than dumbasses with a vantage point and OPM (other people's money) - do not either.  But that's our world, and I guess it is why we have everything from communists to labor unions to Ron Paul supporters occupying the streets.

  1. Well, they'll just have to push a few million more subprime, err, 'student loans' on hopeful families who can't afford them. The fractional reserve insanity must go on.
