THAT'S EXACTLY THE POINT! Be pissed at the bailout!

If your company had been given the bailout, would you have turned down a bonus that was under contract to you because it just wasn't right to take the money?

Do the Math, it's like being run over by a Freight train and being pissed at the bird that flew over and crapped on you afterwards.

look at the big picture, the Gov't just screwed us hard with no astroglide.
 
^ Bingo...

Of course just to play devil's advocate, sorry you didnt get a raise, but if AIG went under you may not have a job....

I think that all that should have been null and void when uncle Sam walked in the front door with his check book in his hand to save their jobs.

What "should have been" and what actually was are two completely different things. These bonuses have already been paid out, and the WH and the Congress have known for a couple of weeks that AIG was going to cut the checks.

All the chest pounding over the AIG "bonuses" is just a distraction.
 
as rush and boortz have been saying....

no one i pissed about the 93 billion payed to over seas banks by AIG?

93 billion leaving the economy!
