n 2014 the EU passed legislation that capped bankers’ bonuses at 100% of their pay or 200% with shareholder approval. Proponents of the cap say that it will reduce incentives for bankers to take excessive risk similar to what led to the 2008 financial crisis. Opponents say that any cap on banker’s pay will push up non-bonus pay and cause bank’s costs to rise.

Any worker should be rewarded according to success, but not with excessive amounts of money, that is unfair! And in my opinion , the brokers who were responsible for selling sub prime mortgages should pay back all if not some of the money they made, as it was the tax payer who had to bail the banks out. Banks should not rely on the tax payer to bail them out when they make risky and frankly stupid decisions. Any banker who profited from our losses should have been made to pay that money back!

Yes, but there should be a cap as no bonuses should exceed more than 50 of your wages and failing banks should be nationalised

No, but increase tax to 75% at source over 100% of pay
@98BB8NS1yr1Y
No, tax revenue will increase the higher the bonus
@989PHW91yr1Y
No, but bankers should also provide equity for any financial problems that their banks face
