>>The rewards (bonuses) came as they were making gobs of money for their investors (ie. doing their job). When it all went to hell, they should've burned. Instead they were bailed out, thus again performing their job well. Our anger needs to be directed in the correct direction and directing it at Wall st is a waste of time.

What anger? As it becomes more obvious how "free markets" function, the supply of chumps will dry up so dealers will be reduced to trying to shave $ off each other. As long as their virtual poker games aren't at the expense of everybody else, good luck to them and may their earnings fully reflect their contribution to society and the economy.

>>Who? Many people. Unless you're suggesting that money is the only driving force in all people. In which case I have a few generations of farmers I'd like to introduce you to. There have always been rich and poor, uber-rich and destitute. The difference in a free market capitalistic society is that everyone is afforded the opportunity to achieve the highest wealth status.

LOL at the last slogan. As for money as a driver: why insert the word "only"? Money is not the only driving force, but it is a driving force. Especially if you want people to undertake long degrees and Dickensian residencies so you can have doctors. They aren't saints and being academically gifted, they could expect to do well in practically any endeavor. Keep incentivizing easier options and you'll get what you deserve.
