How dare they seek to fulfil their legal obligations to their shareholders.

This is why mule-headed, knee-jerk regulation and over-taxation does not work. The very people you're trying to screw over, are the very people most able to up sticks and do business elsewhere.

Obviously the banks can't be allowed to get away with just anything, but clearly using them as a political punch bag carries its own risks.
