Strange that same argument isn't applied to Firemen/Nurses etc when their pay negotiations come round.

Are these bankers super human, where nobody else can do their jobs? How difficult can it be to run a business so that it loses 40% of it's value in a year?
I don't really know how much I am in favor of government ownership of business ... nationalization, ... state capitalism I suppose you could call it. But that kind of loss in one year It would be difficult, though not impossible, for government to do worse.
