I guess I'm among the "Forces of Dark". I believe the major investment banks have learned "NOTHING".... that they believe strongly that million dollar paychecks are normal and that they are entitled to them... and that "We the tax payers" owed them the bailout money. And yes, I know the story of how the TARP money was cramed down their collective throats over their cold dead bodies... The thing is... "We the tax payers" were suppose to participate in the major investment banks good forture when those good times returned... as such... As such ... as good portion .... perhaps 80% ... of that bonus money should be sent to the US Treasury..... at least for the next five (5) years... The deal was... that "We the Tax payers" were suppose to "Make Money" because ... "We the tax payers" invested in these failing banks....

When does that part of the deal happen?
