I was glad to read in a recent report that the President has taken the gloves off with the bankers whom our tax money has been bailing out. Suddenly the fat cats who have taken our tax dollars and used them just as irresponsibly as their shareholders' funds now want to give back the TARP funds they were only too willing to take and carry on paying themselves unwarranted huge bonuses for screwing their customers.

It seems there is no end to human greed. Perhaps if the education system were more effective the people who have run the economy aground would find that there was a public outcry against letting them continue business as usual. I'm glad President Obama refuses to take the money back. It's time these cosseted bandits learned the hard facts of life, which sadly aren't taught much on Wall Street.

Unfortunately stealing from the poor is legal, whereas stringing the rich up by their nuts remains a crime. Truly the collective noun for bankers is "a wunch". [Non-British readers: this may take a little research].
