1. And you know, most people would feel that

sacrificing some of that money to make things better overall, would be well worth it. If a normal middle class family knew that just one year their Christmas bonus (which is normally non-existent these days), but if they knew that their bonus chipped in one year with the rest of the their company members, would allow for saving someone's home or helping out pay off something... they would. Normal people have hearts and a moral compass... The banksters are obviously just psychopaths to be able to actually think they deserve their bonuses... but the gall to take the bonus when they continue to break American's lives over and over again, its just disgusting.

At some point, I don't think people will just keep taking it. I think people will break here and there, and these assholes will get other people hurt.. The man who is at the edge, will go to a local branch of Bank of America... and it will be the hometown teller who gets harmed over the CEO because the local branch is the closest that the person can get to.

these stories of insider trading because they bribe congress.. and the stories of the banker bonuses. and the stories of more and more people homeless. and the more and more stories of OWS occupying foreclosed properties sounds like the only alternative left since the pols and the banks won't do a thing about it.
