Peak everything except bankers' bonuses

This is rather insensitive in light of today's tough economic condition and shareholders' loss.

No one would care about these two clowns. But it would be interesting if the shareholders of these banks have something to say.

Both capitalism and communism, in theory, are supposed to spread money around. The former by government force, the second by market action, substitutability of resources, skills, etc. Unfortunately, greed is common to any system, and these folks are parasites on their shareholders.

It likely would be no different under Communism. the same guys who are raking the money out of the capitalist economy wold be raking in benefits out of a socialist one. Connections and sleaze seem to rule the day, just about everywhere.
