P.K. Posted March 19, 2009 Share Posted March 19, 2009 The US solution to Fred The Shred's Pension Pot clicky. "US lawmakers in the House of Representatives have voted in favour of a bill to levy a 90% tax on big bonuses from firms bailed out by taxpayers. The move follows outrage over the decision by AIG to award its employees $165m (£113m) in bonuses after taking $170bn in aid from the government." That would be my solution as well. Of course, the likes of RBS claim that they need bonuses to retain their best people even if they do wear red braces. Oh really? Can you imagine a prospective employer reading a cv with the acronym "RBS" on it and then thinking that the candidate is worth hiring? Me neither...
