First the public is outraged by the AIG bonuses; me included. Then the President and Congress (House of Representatives) jump on the bandwagon. The house passes a bill that taxes the bonuses by 90%. So what's the deal, are the bonuses moral or not? If they are not then why do they still get 10%? Then the Senate says to the House, 'Not so fast, we need to think about this, make sure we understand the consequences.' They talked about retaining the brightest people; aren't these the self-interested souls that created this entire mess in the first place, and now they are positioning themselves to get huge bonuses for a colossal mess affecting everyone terribly?!? I say who needs them, go wherever you will, and hurry! Then the Sentate and the Financial industry adds, bonuses are better than forcing the compensation into a salary, because then in a lean year salaries still have to be paid but bonuses don't. So what is the deal, isn't this AWFUL year and they are still sending out GIANT bonuses?!? What am I missing? Isn't this the biggest pile of rubbish we have ever heard coming out of intellectual people really good at getting money away from everyone, or what?
