I suppose the subject says it all. There's lots of talk over the past couple of years about taxpayer bailouts and ongoing quite large Street bonuses. Complicating the matter are tax increases, likely inflation, and attacks on unions.
I wonder what people think about the option of redirecting at least a portion of bonuses handed out on Wall Street towards shareholders of those firms. Dividend increases of a few pennies are common, it seems the shareholders (many of whom are indirectly holding through index funds intended to fund their retirements) might welcome them.
