Should bailout money go to those people as bonuses or not? Do you want them to keep $165,000,000.00 of US taxpayer's bailout money as a bonus for the good job they did at AIG? Really?

Or no, you would not like them to keep those $165,000,000.00 from US taxpayer's money? Which one would you prefer? 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?)

Maybe I'd rather they not get it anyway???? Or if they ARE going to get it..our politicians spend more than 2 days thinking about what the &(*&*(&(*&(* they are doing.

See above about 90% tax brackets. This posturing is nothing more than covering their asses.

I'd like to know when we can start taxing congress for their earmarks...Or Nancy's free airplane shuttle...stuff like that.

TheOne just requested a 3.5Trillion dollar budget...dont' talk to me about small potatoes like this. They just passed a continuing resolution bill with 7.7BILLION dollars in PORK to get re-elected.

You want me to get pissed at AIG...they have to get in line. We are talking about 165million dollars in legally-binding contracts versus 7.7BILLION in pork congress gives to themselves.

Sure I'm pissed about it...but it's nothing that AIG has done, it's what theOne and congress told us was absolutely, positively, indisputably necessary and TRUST US, we know what we are doing here.

I call bull****.
