government's bonus tax strategy? Did AIG fire any of its employees who were directly or indirectly involved with the toxic mortgages? If most public businesses were on the brink of bankruptcy then some employees who work for those businesses would definitely be terminated from their jobs.

AIG employees received bonuses worth a total of $225million. After that, the house of representatitives decided to enforce a 90% AIG bonus tax. The government suprised the AIG workers and revoked their bonuses. The government does not want AIG to go bankrupt. How does the government expect AIG to remain a business without employees' contracts being honored?
 
So what, are you suggesting that the people responsible for nearly bankrupting AIG might leave? How would that be a bad thing? Right now these crooks are still on the payroll and getting bonuses, and they shouldn't be. Plus, AIG can pony up enough cash to hire new people if the old ones are upset that they still have a job after nearly bankrupting the company and leave. Businesses lay off and hire new people all the time, and maybe they need someone less 'educated' this time who doesn't play stupid tricks with our money.

Plus, their contracts are being honored. It isn't AIG who is taxing them, it the federal government who was forced to bail them out. So even in theory that argument doesn't hold water.
