Everybody can discuss AIG bailouts and bonuses "seven ways to Sunday"
but EVERYBODY knows it's "wrong".

So why don't we just admit it/'deal with it' (just say "no" ~ thank you Nancy R) .....and move on to wherever that takes us.)

Don't be *afraid* because "someone moved your cheese" ;-)

1. The government controls 80% of the company, right?
Fuck their bonuses. If they think they can sue and get a jury to award them, good luck.

3. Personally, I like the 100% taxation on bonuses plan. That's the simplest answer. eom

2. Oh, I'm delighted about how the MSM keeps bringing it up.
And please, let conservative assbags keep on defending AIG execs getting bonuses with our tax dollars! Try as they might, there is no way in hell they will be able to sell that to Americans who are struggling to keep afloat.

4. The MSM are setting up the Democrats for the 2010 election.....
The plan is to get enough people enraged and in revolt mode for the "Populism" wave
that the MSM is going to cram down our throats, with a little help from their friends.

Cause it is mighty suspicious that of all of the issues that the MSM could have
gotten excited about prior to this, they didn't....hey?

I remember when millions were marching in the street....
they could have given a good goddamn!

So yeah, let them keep pushing this.
Some of us have already caught on while others are taking the bait.

7. It DOESN'T MATTER what the media reports anymore....the 'media' have
made themselves irrelevant (unprofitable ~ who cares?).......b/c MILLIONS OF PEOPLE where there themselves PERSONALLY! They marched, they cared, they were "under-reported"/marginalized. And now those same people are saying, "marginalize me now f*cker, when you want my *business*/money...suck eggs!"
