  It's socialism to control the pay of your employees? After all, the US government has "invested" more money in these banks than anyone else. What are they if not the owners?

    No, it's not socialism to control the pay of employees; however, "the US government 'investing' more money in these banks" is socialism. Essentially, it's a form of normalization of classes and we broke capitalism through state control. While we don't have a pure form of capitalism, we are become more moderate, where we are heading towards socialism/communism on the politic-economic scale. Furthermore, please do not downmod because you disagree. Though the socialism comment was in jest, I was not grossly off-topic. Please read the community's comments regarding karma.
