France and the United Kingdom have implemented a huge tax on banker bonuses.

Should the United States follow in it's footsteps?

The government needs to mind their own business with regard to what private businesses pay their employees. The exception is when a company receives money from the feds, the the taxpayers become shareholders and have a right as to their compensation.

So in that case we can legislate the pay for health insurance companies, banks, and auto companies that took bailout money, right?
