Congress must penalize "bonus" system
The Issue
United States citizens resent the lavish compensation received by leaders of the financial institutions that created the Wall Street meltdown and the deep recession that followed. Still, if these institutions refuse to trim fat salaries and unearned bonuses, Congress must legislate restraints such as higher taxes on those "perks" and ways to tie compensation to performance.
