And after the company gets bankrupt because its director just decided to take some money off to the Bahamas, guess who will pay for the disaster.

Banks have learned nothing from the "crisis", it did work like intended and there was no crisis for the banks. It is high time for a non-political response.

On this we finally, finally, finally need a massive change in economy laws: managers at the top, managers in principle, must be considered as being fully liable not only for their incomes and bonusses, but also for the losses and damages their decisions mean for a company. Damages they created, they have to compensate for with their full private property, no matter whether they caused the damage intentionally to get a personal profit from that while knowing they will get away with it, or unintentionally. Right now you can sink a whole company intentionally in order to fill your sacks with golds, getting fired (then you enjoy your wealth and must not work anymore, great!) , go to court and demand another 2 million compensation for that early deletion of the contract - and get away with it. Eventually you even get a pension from the state, for which the ordinary tax payer has to pay for.

Parasites. Get a spray and let them have it.

What must I do to get punished like that? I would happily send a company into bancruptcy or push an old grandmother in front of a bus if I get two million for it and will not be held legally responsible for it. that is a nice way of getting punished, really. the public shame I can live with - money does not stink.

If such people would not be allowed to keep the money they have stolen that way, and would know they even could lose the wealth they already own, I promise you much fewer people would try to make it up to these ranks, and those who would, would act with much more caution, and awareness for their social responsibility, they would also make sure they are competent for the job they are aiming at. An economic culture of much higher awareness of one's own responsibility, greater competence, and understanding of that there are not only one's own rights and interests but also one's own duties, would be the result.

Too man ypeple these days, rich and poor, run around and know much abotu their right - and do not want to know about their duties. And raison d'État is a term that has been gotten rid of by political parties in their quest to take over the power.
