Did they not pay their corporate taxes?> In March 2009 RBS announced the closure of its tax avoidance <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tax_avoidance> department, which had helped it avoid £500m of tax by channelling billions of pounds through securitized <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Securitization> assets in tax havens <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tax_haven> such as the Cayman Islands <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cayman_Islands> . The closure was partly due to a lack of funds to continue the measures, and partly due to the huge taxpayer stake in the bank. http://www.guardian.co.uk/business/2009/mar/13/rbs-tax-avoidance <http://www.guardian.co.uk/business/2009/mar/13/rbs-tax-avoidance> > > No it is not, it is my money.

You are not. The British tax payer officially now owns more than 80% of all RBS group - the largest company in the world by assetts. The largest company in the world is owned by me.

They were just given loans, not equity. If AIG or some company fails, the loans won't be paid back to the taxpayer The Royal Bank of Scotland Group (ie. Me) will likely buy up the scraps after American companies fail to perform. They (the British taxpayer) is already pushing out Canadian companies in bids to buy up major financials in Australia. I don't agree with the tactis, I'm just saying, my rich uncle RBS is looking after my future interests. OffWorld <<in exchange for the billions or trillions of dollars they shelled out, did they not? If so, then the government is the owner and as owner they have every right to pay their employees -- including the executives whatever they want to pay them.>
