AIG Bonuses: One Man's View

As a taxpayer, small business owner and citizen of the US, I am absolutely appalled at the AIG bonus information that rolled out today. Paying 165 + million to a unit within AIG that had direct impact on the companies failure requiring a federal bail out that uses my money makes me sick.

@boughttoday Don't swallow your anger to far bro, Our Govt. were just paying their "boss". And this is not communism, this is an insidious capitalism running roughshod over you, me and every single working stiff in this country. They hold us up,lose our money, and then get a bail-out from our ball-less govt. And you know what? Those elitist scum carry on, business as usual.

Look Up IG Farben Noted the MOST Notorious Corp on Earth. 16 of 20 of their executives AND BUSH were charged as War Criminals 1945. War Crimes Court ordered IG to Defunct Immediately. AIG is IG FARBEN. SAME ALUMNI Bush owned Silesian Steel in Auschwitz Forced Jews to make Steel for HITLER murdered the Frail, shared offices with JOSEPH MENGELE. BUSH ALSO created Senators and Congressmen out of HITLERS Henchmen. LOOK up Trilateral Members They infiltrated EA STATE Do NOT Vote Trilateral COMMIES

The fact that AIG took bonuses when taxpayers are losing their jobs, their homes and money when the economy is dire is absolutely shameful and disgusting!! Familes are trying to afford to put their children in college and to put food on the table and AIG is taking money which is intended for those who need it. They shouldn't get one copper penny of the bonus at all.

Aren't entirely blameless, They knew these bonuses were in place. It was part of the original agreement of the bail out. Now it comes as a big surprise? Hardly. It is simply a matter of the new transparency of this administration and congress. Just wait till the particulars of the new omnibus bill come to light. you know the 1100 page that no one had read completely before passing it? This administration and congress will leave debts far greater than the current $89,000 per person.

The aig bonus is just a diversion for the american people to not find out about the 9.7 trillion dollars that magically disappeared from the federal reserve.

The congress and administration aren't entirely blameless either. In fact, I would put the blame squarely on their shoulders. Why did they vote to allow these bonuses in the first place when they could've prevented this whole mess? Now they are scrambling to pass a bill that is totally unconstitutional. It is us the American people who are blindsided by all this...as usual.

I agree.

America is in a really big mess already. It's called the Obama administration and the Reid/Pelosi congress.
