Should bailout money go to those people as bonuses or not?
Not particularly...however the time to stop that would have been before they gave them the money...not on a congressional whim to confiscate 90% of it.

Or no, you would not like them to keep those $165,000,000.00 from US taxpayer's money? Which one would you prefer?
So my choice is I have to be FOR it or not? Sure I'm not FOR it. However I'm also not FOR congress passing a 90% tax on anyone.

I'm not FOR a lot of things...however I'm not trying to get congress to pass confiscatory taxes to close down those things.

[quote[I'd just like to know if it's option A or option B, and why option B constitutes socialism (keeping US taxpayer's bailout money from being used to pay bonuses=socialism?)[/QUOTE]
So the end justifies the means. I'm starting to get it. Hopefully congress will continue to look out across the country and find things to remedy.
