That's true but it's not clear they will be able to convict her. Quite likely the only thing she knew about Bernie's money was how to spend it. Do not have to convict her. Just have to prove the money was spoils of crime. Would be like you robbing a bank and giving all the money to your wife. You are caught, but they can not get the money back, as you gave it away? May still be in the banks bag. As to the taxing the bonus money. Is not going to fly from what I understand. Would be a "Bill of Attainment". Which is really unconstitutional. |

I could not believe that the Senate was even going to consider the confiscatory taxation bill that pelosi's house passed today. Anytime that the Government of the United States singles out a specific group of people and taxes their income at a 90% tax rate, it is wrong. AIG is owned by the govt. those people work for us. we get to set their salaries and bonuses. These bonuses were given with the full approval of the Senate, House, and obama. Now that the company is doing what the Democrats gave them permission to do, the US government is singling them out for confiscatory taxes. If anyone would read the Constitution they would find that singling out a group of people for this type of legislation is also unconstitutional. singling out a group of people is not unconstitutional. it probably IS unconstitutional to try and break a contract which was legal at the time it was made. but there is no excuse for this type of theft of our money. Retention bonuses have been given by companies for centuries to maintain their staff when the company faces uncertain economic futures. and since we own AIG, we have the power to fire those people at will. in the US employment is 'at will'. so we can fire those managers if we're unhappy with their performance Because the company did not want to be stripped of its staff, the government is going to penalize those employees for staying and helping AIG return to a healthy company. those people ran AIG into the ground. what fairy tales do you read? do you know AIG has $150,000,000,000 in govt money in it? Are you more concerned with punishing individuals who work at AIG or are you more concerned with AIG becoming a healthy private enterprise again? Apparently the president and people in leadership positions in the senate and house have no concept of what to do about the economic problems the country is facing today and are using every minor excuse to divert the public's attention from their failures. the right wing 'free market' folks got us into this mess....they created the largest economy collapse since the great depression Who is your employer? Where do you buy your food? Where do you buy your clothes? Where do you buy your durable goods? The free markets have a self correcting mechanism. Government's only solution to problems is more regulation and taxation. now you're saying to continue with those failed policies because of your faith in them? you're worse than a creationist! The failed policies are from over regulation by the government and trying to implement social policy rather than follow sound business principles. we DID de-regulate the market. and collateralized default swaps went from $920B in 2000 to SIXTY TWO TRILLION DOLLARS in 2007.... If we are playing the blame game, then you should be upset with Clinton. is that the type of de regulation you had in mind? Why should we keep propping up AIG and other private enterprises with taxpayers money? Shouldn't we just let them go bankrupt? Or does the fact that the Dodd and Frank would lose too much in campaign contributions if that were to happen have any bearing on the decisions by the legislative branch of government? |

While the USA is burning Obama has put incompetents in charge of the government. If it is Saturday, it must be idiot's delight day. Unlike Bush, Obama can walk, talk, and chew gum at the same time. If the USA is burning, it is because Bush and the Republicans set it on fire, and Obama is trying to put the fires out. No administration in my lifetime was more incompetent than the Bush Administration. I wouldn't know about $100 a pound steak. What's it taste like? |
