Frankly the banks have been acting so immorally during these past few times that I'm just not sure what to think next. How low can they go?

By all means, I think bonuses should be paid for rewards and with money that belongs to the banks but AIG was bailed out using public money therefore its employees failed, yet they're still giving out £116m in bonuses! rolleyes

I'm sure there are plenty of PH bankers who would not dispute this, but for the average Joe like myself, it's pretty immoral to see this in the wake of what's going on.
