Such a majority of people in our Nation did not get a bonus last year, most did not even get a raise. Our worries and concern about AIG: they cheated. All of them. Those who wrote the loophole, those who let it pass and those who, in the end, are trying to take advantage of it at our expense and the expense of our children. If the IRS collects our taxes and our Government (left and right alike) uses our money to bail out AIG, I expect, in return that AIG, via the Government, will give money to bail us out. No. They keep our money and play with it, patting each other on the back "We done good", 'em taxpayer robbers. We were brought up with values that AIG and the likes are trampling like cow dung: That is what is wrong. This valueless attitude is rampant in recent years. So maybe those of their employees who only make $85,000 a year could use a bonus... it still is our money and badly needed at the moment, by those of us who don't even get $18,000, i.e., not enough money and no bonus to feed a family of four. Those of us who have lived, or are living, or are about to live the forclosure process do not have time to worry about AIG's bonuses. It enrages us and and we know there is nothing we can do about it. Well, it might be a good thing to put things in perspective for fairness’ sake.
