It seems to me that the way these companies like Citi-group, Lehman Brothers, and Goldman Sacks, make money is to make investments in companies that have shrewder tactics than their competition. Therefore if an investment firm looses money and needs a bail out then they are perceived as being bad bussiness people and giving the employees too many big bonus's. However what about the guys posting record profits? Did they not likely do something that could be considered un-ethical in order to gain those record profits? My gut feeling is yes they did. When one investment firm gains there are others that loose. The game is such that the rich will get richer and the poor poorer. Isn't it time that we just put all those bankers, and stock brokers in jail, and eliminate the problem. The prison guard union wins big, the people who would have "invested" win or better just not loose. Its a win no loose situation.

Its time.
