Now that the banks paid back TARP, at a profit to the Treasury, are the bonuses okay?

What ever companies pay their CEOs is their business, not yours. If you don't like what they pay their executives then don't buy their products. Capitalism in a Republic means that business owners, and stock holders, are free to pay people what ever the he** they want. If they are over paying them then the profit margin will drop and they will cut back on the bonuses. As I said, it is none of your, or anyone at all except the stockholders of that company, business what they pay their CEOs.

PS, if you want to bitch about high prices, try bitching at the government and forcing them to get rid of the EPA, HLS, the dept. of Education and many other agencies and let the states take care of that sort of thing and get rid of all the onerous regulations that force companies to spend billions they don’t have to in order to make a decent profit, that is if they aren’t run out of business altogether. Who do you think makes the most money on a gallon of gas, the oil companies or the government? Correct answer is the government. Too much government is our problem, not the pay checks of CEOs.
