We've been spied on. People have been tortured. Wars have been started and continue and all the while the rich rob us and treat us like serfs but nobody cared much. We can't trust our currency and its the strongest on the planet, we are hated around the world. None of this is news but here we are finally with some public outrage. But is it at the Government that fostered the nation's financial collapse, the lack of enforcement of existing law, the corrupt politicians and the even more corrupt policy that led to our debacle the straw that broke the camel's back? Was it 7 years of secretive tyrannical rule? Hell no, it was a hundred fifty million dollars worth of bonuses.

Don't get me wrong. Anything that brings out the pitchforks and torches is fine with me. Its just surprising that after the billions tossed down the shitter and the overload of abuse from every other corner that this simple little thing would set off the public fire.
