I'm with Micky on this one. I was sold the illusion that these guys and gals were creating wealth with their casino economics. While my (403) B went south they were headed out of the country to another bank with their loot. Bonus? No, jail 'em. Is it class envy, probably, but I guess I prefer my class of dirty fingernail crowd to those without a conscience. Free market my @#$, Gluttony doesn't have a conscience. The class war is over and they have won. I give up. Can anyone spare a dime?
