The so-called bonuses amount to 6 one-hundredths of one percent of the value of the value of the bailout. In the financial industry much of the compensation is conditional upon reaching certain goals. Satisfying the goals triggers end-of-year payments. These payments are not always dependent on the overall success of the company.
An unnecessary extra level of indirection that I hope does not detract from the point.
than cue.
So, you are saying the reward for the success of (your) failure is not interdependent on the success of the failure of the company (you) work for? And that said reward is so miniscule in the overall rape being perpetrated on the average taxpayer that it is unworthy even of mention?
Outstanding!
One could make the same case for bribes paid to political leaders.
