Because that would divert money from the bankers pockets into ours.

The losses from previous years don't just vanish.

I must admit I saw that on the TV news this morning and couldn't believe the arrogance of the RBS chairman.

Finally the bank in one quarter has made a profit, and he's suggesting that the government could sell the bank off next year (at a huge loss to the taxpayer) thus allowing him and his cronies to go back to doing what they want without government having any influenece over things like bonuses.

They were saying on TV that there's at least £18 Billion to be made before the taxpayer breaks even, so Mr RBS, thats your starting point, get your bank to perform well enough that the government can make that money at least, though I suspect with the bailouts given to RBS it's probably a lot more than that.

Well it doesn't work so well if you know you are being shafted. We all need to keep quiet and let the bankers get on with spending our money.
