There are several aspects.

... Another is the very concept of a bonus, which should be given to top performers when their companies are doing well, not greedy incompetents who have flushed their companies down the toilet.

Not a challenge, but simply a question:

Are the people getting the bonuses the same people who set up the derivative schemes of packaging bad mortgages that basically caused much of the problem?

In other words ... are we blaming the right people?

Is there any cite or reference that gives evidence of this?

Again, not challenging ... asking.
