AIG lost 61 BILLION dollars in a quarter last year.

they are using BAILOUT Money to give High rank executives million dollar bonuses over around 170 million!!!

So the government should be more careful with their money next time... before handing it out without preconditions?

What the government is doing right now is basically blackmail.  I'd be surprised if it even would hold up legally.

A special tax specifically for one company with the directly stated goal of being for said company... i mean really?

What's next a tax specifically targeting fast food restruants named Burgerking etc.

 

a tons of useless executive should get million dollars bonuses for ruining their company? i don't think so.

If it's in their contracts?  Yes.  If their CEO's deem it so?  Yes.

There is nothing saying they shouldn't...  and trying to blackmail someone otherwise goes against anything a democratic society believes in.

A specialized tax targeting a group of people the government disagrees with is much more dangerous then a few incompetants getting big bonuses.

 

 

Sadly he is right.
