I wasn't aware that banks were forced into taking the TARP. However, I have been doing some reading that states the stipulation for exec pay is for those who take future bailout funding. The original TARP recipients are not obligated to limit exec pay.

If banks which were otherwise solvent and profitable on their own terms were forced to make risky loans by government and subsequently failed, then forced to take bailout money from the taxpayers, then given mandated maximum wage scales for executive pay, then I would say this was all a contrived effort toward socialism/and I dare say Marxism. But wait......nahhhh....couldn't be....could it?
