I am a blue-collar person. I have a wife, two daughters, and all the pleasure that that brings.
I am patriotic. I donate and give. I hold doors open for my elders. I let people in in traffic.
I do all for my children. And they are decent citizens. I lay my head on my pillow at night with no regrets. I am lucky. I know this. Family is everything. Money, nothing. Sad that even one of these high and mighty execs would not forfeit this bonus in the name of America.
That’s what America is. “At our best when things are worst”. Rings true.
AIG is a disgrace. They are walking on the very hallowed ground laid down by our forefathers.
Pay your taxes and complain. Let’s take the reins again. It has to STOP!!!

So true – this foolishness and stupidity has costs millions of jobs – WORLDWIDE – where the hell was good ole'”W”??? Talk about the war still Cheney – good boy that is a nice distraction from what they did to not only the American people but the world – ***holes!
Sheldon,
Not that you are interested in anything but the same tired, hysterical liberal ranting that you all seem to pull from some master talking point list, but I thought you should know something. George Bush is not an employee of AIG, nor is Dick Cheney.
The Marxist ravers would do well to note that the AIG bonus program was put in the bailout verbage by Chris Dodd. Further he was told to do so by Treasury. Treasury works for E.G.A.D (Egotistical Great American Destroyer or Obama) These are all Democrats. The same Marxist bastards you socialist idiots voted in.
I am always amused by the ranters of the right as they go on and on and…. about “Marxists” and “Communists” and “Socialists” now that the country (and the world economy) has been thoroughly raped by their Reaganist Overlords. It is indeed touching to see serfs so deeply loyal to their masters.
Break the habits of a lifetime boys… read and think, it’s hard at first but there is still hope for you
