Why do people hate bankers so much?

Surely you wouldn't hate them so much if you were one of them?

If it was you earning the bonus it would be good right? Anyone else and it is because they are 'greedy'.

We don't even know what they spend their money on so why do we have the right to criticise it?
People become all interested in a recession when they themselves are poor and don't want to accept that there are people out there still doing well for themselves?
Why should they spend their bonuses/redundancy payments on helping us get out the recession when it's their money?

No one in my family is a banker or anything...just don't understand all the stick they get. Something inside tells me it all goes back to the jealousy/money thing.

Jealousy of their salaries, and the media using them as a scapegoat for the recent recession.

I don't even hate them. But I know someone is going to say this, so i thought I might as well. This is referring to the bolded part: because we spend our money helping them get out of the recession.

We pay taxes as well though, which is a lot more than the average household... Bankers didn't ask anyone to sacrifice their salary, only government money, which is what people are doing to bankers by asking them to stop their bonuses which is basically their income.

No, their salary is their income.

because people like to take out loans and mortgages theyll never be able to afford and then moan when there is a recession. Unable to blame themselves and unable to comprehend that it is a WORLDWIDE recession, they blame it on bankers who are obviously "stupid and greedy" for wanting high paying jobs and who have studied at some of the countreis finest higher educational systems.

Oh I don't know, maybe because they contributed to the disintegration of the economy, ensured billions of taxpayers' money was spent on their job security and yet continue to recieve astronomically huge bonuses? Hmm ...

because they dont offer fair amounts on deal or no deal

Because success must be punished.
