“Without a doubt, $18 billion is a lot of money, but it’s a drop in the bucket on Wall Street,” said Gustavo Dolfino, president of the WhiteRock Group, a headhunter for the banks. “These bonuses are down, and the salaries are not enough for these people. They can’t live on $150 to $180,000, so they haven’t saved any money. They put it on credit lines and at bonus time, they thought they’d pay it off.”
So the taxpayer, with a median income of $49K a year, must pick up the tab.
Question: What are the bank executives doing to prevent taxpayers from suffering unacceptable living circumstances?
