I struggle with understanding all the fiscal figures etc but that has clarified it beautifully.<br /><br />Bill, do you mean if I was in banking I could say potentially I'll earn a million next year so this year I'll take 10% of that plus my salary as a bonus? Surely not.BerthaBerserkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13264490586300627402noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6384527644390171544.post-4906976455974029792011-12-22T07:26:01.268+00:002011-12-22T07:26:01.268+00:00That is a really brilliant post, enabling me to vi...That is a really brilliant post, enabling me to visualise the numbers in a way I have never done before. <br /><br />The anger at the banks would be less if they had at least shown some thanks for it, rather than taking it and going back to business and boni as normal.<br /><br />Bill<br />I had never heard of that before. Can you explain about that, or point me in the direction of an article?Lynn C Schreiberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15397301192767939627noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6384527644390171544.post-68252118848242030042011-12-22T07:19:11.011+00:002011-12-22T07:19:11.011+00:00It's worth mentioning how the bankers put thei...It's worth mentioning how the bankers put their bonuses together. They're allowed to bring forward purely hypothetical future earnings and treat them as if they were real monies earned in the current year and grant themselves huge bonuses accordingly. As is so much with banking, this is a scam and should never have been made legal. So far as I'm aware there are no plans to end this Bill Krusehttp://www.economania.co.uknoreply@blogger.com
