Nah, not with you here. I read this and I hear "You shouldn't complain about drug dealers getting a lot of money for selling drugs to kids because those are the rules" or, "You can't complain about serial killers killing people because, duh, written into the job description", or, "torturers are just doing their jobs", or "well someone has to sell arms".
I don't care, really, at all, how hard they work for their bonuses. The bonuses are wrong because they incentivise gambling with other people's money. Actually, it isn't really gambling, because there is no risk - we'll take the losses, they keep the winnings.
I think you miss a point 4 above, too, which is next time we give our money to the banks, we put some more strings on it.
