Romney represents Wall Street going after the government when they were the only thing that saved us from Wall Street.

Another political dirty dig or a slow news day or both.

Hollaback, you say profit like it's a bad word, without profit there would be no money to confiscate ie tax.

I'm sure Romney has invested all his profits from the Irish deal into his Swiss bank accounts.

The provate banking sector jealously guard their financial autonomy from Goverment interference, whether in Ireland, UK or US. Then when they get in over their head, they come screaming for the same Governments to bail them out of their corporate loan sharking and investment gambling.

This piece is nothing more than an all-too-gratuitous back-hand @ man (and his former firm) who got on and got honor by doing right for his clients who probably failed to follow the advice rendered . . .

Well, you all are gonna have to pay the two dollars ... This is not the only case where Irish g'ment managed banks will have to pony up for fees extracted because of mis-management by g'ment. Note that Allied did not get saddled with these charges, being relatively independent of Irish g'ment management.
