Yes, strong words, I know but this is what comes to me every time I read news items like this.

In the midst of a financial turmoil that has raised questions, among other things, about fat executive pay packets, a media report listed out 12 top Wall Street bankers who collectively took home over $1 billion (yes, $1 billion!) in the past five years.
The total take-home pay of the 12 bankers, current and former chiefs of some of the biggest names in the US financial space, stands at $1.053.15 billion during 2003-07, as per data compiled by The New York Times.

Well, let the common man end up in streets, let old people's lifetime saving get wiped out, let parents savings for their child's education reduce to pittance; THE executives who are responsible for the blood bath in financial sector, unashamedly rake in tons of money!

They say the top 20 CEOs had a salary of US$36.4 mil average in 2006!!
And did you hear the most recent outrageous news?? Right after the Govt bailed out AIG with US$86 billion, they spent about US$400,000 in resort and spa luxury for their top execs!!!
Another news is that Lehman Bros gave nearly $20 million in payments for two departing executives about a week before the bankruptcy!!!
All these Wall street execs should be prosecuted!
Welcome to the Real World !!
