Outrageous Compensation and Bonuses...

are small potatoes compared to things we really should be upset about. At least that's what this guy thinks:

Things that should upset us:

• Paying people in year one for risks that last years or decades;

• The “privatized gains, socialized losses” of the current system;

• Dramatically reduced competition in the Banking sector;

• The idea that “Too Big To Fail” is now an official policy of the United States;

• The “gifting” of $100s of billions of dollars to mismanaged banks that should have been allowed to fail in a controlled fashion;

• Bank lobbyists preventing any sort of credible regulation from passing;

• Goldman Sachs wresting $19 billion from AIG;

• The absurd and poorly thought out $750 billion TARP plan;

• The suspension of mark-to-market allowing banks to hide losses and not accurately disclose their bad assets;

• The outsized influence Banks have on Congress and Goldman Sachs has within the Executive branch.
