Yes, but in banking, government bailouts have also come to be expected. Clearly the public should consider bailouts and fat profits and bonuses as fundamentally incompatible.

I noticed you specifically called out "bonuses" but not salaries or wages, implying that bonuses are bad but salaries and wages are not. However, as I pointed out, the bonuses should effectively be counted as wages because they're expected.

I also said fat profits, which generally encompasses all business activity.
