Granted that we cannot disagree with the outrageous size of so-called bonuses. Could we also consider that the entities that sign the cheques, must be either totally budget inept or running businesses that create turn-over of such inordinate magnitude, that the payments seem reasonable. If that is the case, one wonders that they may well be aware of making profits of ridiculous proportion. One doesn't give a salesman a bonus greater than the cost of the item sold. It is usually a percentage of the profit margin. I am not a citizen of the USA, and so have not been a US Tax Payer. I sympathize and am outraged that US tax payers are funding these greedy failures who add insult to injury by causing mass job losses.
Certainly demand recovery of 'bonuses', but also review the profit margins of the corporate world and do not ignore the continuance of these so called 'giants of industry'.

It's just not happened.
