No shame, whatsoever...

Where's my taxpayer's receipt... I want my money back!

Goldman Sachs is on course to pay its top City bankers multimillion-pound bonuses - despite asking the U.S. government for an emergency bail-out.

The struggling Wall Street bank has set aside £7billion for salaries and 2008 year-end bonuses, it emerged yesterday.

Each of the firm's 443 partners is on course to pocket an average Christmas bonus of more than £3million.

The size of the pay pool comfortably dwarfs the £6.1billion lifeline which the U.S. government is throwing to Goldman as part of its £430billion bail-out.

And this is just ONE FIRM participating in the bailout. I'm sure the rest were more... responsible... right? Don't worry, I'm not holding my breath.

Yep, don't you love that redistribution of wealth. There's really only one answer/choice.
