What do we get for the money we pay in bonuses?

We have accepted democratically that our savings, pensions, taxes, employers' assets and cashflow be diverted to pay competitive free market bonuses at the global rate.

What do we get for the money?

Update:

The tax and public spending structure, control over the national currency, and interest rates are very much the province of Government, however private Barclays is. Government is supposed to be accountable to the electorate.

Update 2:

It has been suggested that my personal savings have nothing to do with bank bonuses. Then where precisely are they getting this money from?

    Your statement is totally wrong.

    I have moved all my assets from Lloyd's, and we have not accepted democratically anything of the kind.

    Lloyds & RBS were taken over by the Government, that was done on an executive decision by the Democratically elected Government, you are confusing two different things.

    The Government has said that it would not run those two Companies on a day to day basis, the result is that they choose to pay some of their employees a bonus.

    However this is not by any democratically elected decision, it is via an Executive decision made on our behalf.

    I suggest that before posting what amounts to codswallop, you brush up on how Government works.

    In the end we get a bonus by way of an increase in the value of the shares in those companies, mainly because Government has done the wise thing and left the running of those Companies to the Directors, something the Last bunch of comedians were unable to do.

    Your personal savings as an individual are not related in any way to market bonuses.

    It is like saying I have a cow but why is petrol so expensive. Sadly you have educated yourself to the point of: _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _.

    Stop taking those magic mushrooms and you will be fine and able to ask normal questions again that actually make sense and have an answer.

    By the way Barclays actually £2.4billion in bonuses and despite that they are still going to sack 7,000 staff members in Britain. Government is as corrupt as the bankers so they don't care as long as they get their back handers.
