I wonder if this bailout scam will finally enrage enough people so we can take back the government?

If my AIG stock had not dropped from the 70s...a supposed buy and hold for life. Its probably not a good idea that I can see their Houston Tower two blocks from my residence.

This might be the most misleading post I have ever seen. This event was for producers who sold American General life products. It was to reward them. The same way top producers from all comapines get rewarded.(i.e real estate agents, Financial Advisors, etc)
The event was alread paid for. These people had zero to do with the gov bail out.
So let's not reward them on a trip promised to them after they had qualified because of some greedy High Execs on Wall Street. Most of these people are middle to middle upper class who qualify for these conventions and this is there one week out of the year to be rewarded.

Well, if the company was struggling, why would they plan for something like this? I think it shows the style these folks live in even when their company is going broke. It was in real poor taste. They get a bailout from the government and then they carry on like this. Poor, poor, taste.
The way I see it, I'm paying for that party. I guess I'm still paying.
In fact, I think I'll be paying for a lot of these parties for sometime to come.
