"Contract Issues"
Give me a break, PLEASE. AIG HAS to pay tens of millions of dollars in bonuses because of 'contract issues.' Funny, aren't unionized auto workers under contract too? Yet THEY are expected to renegotiate their contracts because of the financial problems. AIG gets zillions more than the auto industry and pay it out to white collar workers but the little guy has to give something back. It makes my blood boil. How about making THEM renogtiate their contracts.

2. Excellent point. There is a double standard, and how much money you have
appears to be the defining line.

This bullshit has got to stop!

3. Damn straight -- and not only that, why does paying for quality and hard work ONLY apply to CEOs?
Why is it that living-wage paychecks are branded "greedy" for the rank-and-file, but are stone-cold necessities for "talented" CEOs? ARGH!

6. Because teachers and auto workers and airline pilots and union members = bad
and are the root source of all the problems with the economy?

Yep, those greedy old union members. Oh, I forgot nurses.
