Citibank- which is on government "welfare"- is giving 50% raises to the fat cats! When was the last time YOU got such a raise? You are more likely to get a CUT or even a pink slip.
Why are you surprised? These are very special people. They need to have the money they lost in their speculating replaced. Citibank executives cannot afford to lose their status amongst the rest of the thieves.
They, along with the rest of their clan, should have been jailed for grand theft, not given bonuses.

If President Obama somehow developed the power to limit executive compensation to some reasonable multiple of the minimum wage all the conservatives on this board would be having a collective fit about the destruction of "Capitalism".
We could effectively control the “fat cats” pay by reinstituting a real progressive income tax on all income from all sources. I do not think Citibank executives would be giving millions to themselves if 90% of it would go to the government as income tax.

Citigroup contributed heavily to the 2008 Obama campaign. No one will get fired and this will continue. One hand washes the other and we get the bill when they're all done.

Goldman Sachs' traders got some pretty fat raises, but even NPR correspondents were suggesting they were likely well earned.
