I guess the big problem is the word "bonus".

Bonus has become interchangeable with salary, benefits, or really any type of compensation on Wall Street.....I'm not saying that's a good thing, I'm just pointing out that's the way it's been for awhile now.

I don't imagine there would be this outrage if the public found out what AIG spent on employee health benefits last year, or what it's monthly nut is for employee salaries, or IT, or whatever.
The word "bonus" just seems to hit a nerve with people.
