AIG Bonus'

168 top execs at AIG get to split 400 million for bonuses

Where is the oversight? This is friggin' ridiculous!

The bailout bill was passed with no oversight provisions. It was no strings attatched.
It is not the fault of the corporation. It is the fault of the Congressman.

AIG will share 400,000,000.00 in Christmas bonus....This is greed at its finest.

Yeah, I know that.

it's way past time we get the tar and feathers, grab our torches and rails and have an uprising in this country and overhaul the whole system. we can either keep taking it up the ass without lube and sit and cry to each other there is nothing we can do and thats just the way things are or we can rise up and physically throw these rotten bastards out and start over. who's with me???

people always sit back and say, "well, thats just the way things are...." they are only that way if we allow it to remain that way. it's time for people in this country to step up and be responsible and set thinsg straight and quit letting these bastards get away with murder and robbery just because they are currently the top dogs. even a top dog will eventually get it's ass whipped. the time for some ass whoopin has come.

I have my torch lit...let's go!

You could have had this guy going into the White House, but nooo. Ya just gotta keep voting those same crooked republicans and democrats back in office while this guy has been defending the rights of Americans for many years.

GW wanted bailouts fast and congressmen eager to line their own pockets were happy to oblige. There was no oversight because we all just got hosed by our elected officials so their wealthy pals could be even more wealthy.

To celebrate the bailout, AIG execs had a $400,000 dollar party at one of the most expensive resorts in America. Of course politicians say they had no idea.

I was just sayin' it was stupid to have allowed that.


I know what I mean. You need to learn how to decipher what I say.

I know what you mean too, and that scares me.

At least two lawmakers quizzed Kashkari about retention payments made to top executives by troubled insurer AIG. The company has received billions of dollars in government help, including $40 billion from the Troubled Asset Relief Program. In a recent letter to Rep. Elijah E. Cummings, D-Md., AIG CEO Edward M. Liddy said 168 employees were scheduled to receive retention payments ranging from $92,500 to $4 million.


linky thingy

I hope they can live on that. I reenter ate, reality vs. perceived reality.

I just feel bad that they use our tax dollars to prop themselves up.

I feel bad that elected officials sworn to serve America only serve their rich buddies and special interests. Damn traitors in my books.
