I love it that the House has passed a confiscatory tax on the damned
retention and other bonuses the wall street/insurance/banking crooks
are paying themselves for failure. Out of our tax money. **** 'em.



I don't agree with the payment of the bonuses, but I am afraid the House
action could easily be overturned in a Court. What they are trying to
do is illegal in the eyes of many legal experts.

What went wrong was the conditions of the bailout deal to begin with.
Congress is as much to blame, if not more so, for stupidly rushing this
deal without thinking it though.
Worse, maybe they did.

Also turns out that some of the companies that received bailout funds
lied about their fed income taxes being paid. Now that, if true, will be
an offense worth slammer time. Hope they get it.

they're going away. It seems an answer to a prayer. Thank you, Lord.
