What is with all the fake outrage from our politicians and Obama over these bonuses? They have known about these AIG bonuses for a year. Chris Dodd wrote an ammendment into the porkulus (stimulus) bill protecting these bonuses. These are retention bonuses, if you don't know what those are you should look into it before falling into the mob outrage stupidity. Then we have Chuck Schumer out there saying if they don't give these bonuses back the government is going to tax them at 100% and take them back, I guess Schumer doesn't care that is against the constitution. Do you people even realize the dangerous situation our government is moving? What do you expect when you let government get involved with private business. I'm amazed not at the bonuses, but amazed at the fact you liberals don't understand government and what it's role should be in our daily lives. Amazed my fellow Americans prefer government nanny state over liberty for all.
