If they all did it, than consumers would also complain or not afford some house/car/home equity, and other loans. I over simplified it but that is the short story.
Understood, however, the point is that they are making and have MADE substantial monies and are paying out only to the nearest and dearest, i.e. themselves, while we who hold the bulk of their largesse are getting a mere pittance and/or lip service. Show me the money!!
