Rise up, fight the good fight. There are more of us then them, just let your voice be heard.
the only fight that has to happen is one with guns and you will just be thrown in jail, America has been hijacked, the 8 years of the Bush administration pretty much cemented that
Everyone deserves to die, we are all flawed. Look in the mirror.
Then quit whining and do something to bring real good to this world.
I used to be a good person, but between the criminals in washinton and other criminals who you are suppose to trust(people in medical industry) I have turned to a bad hateful person

Fight with your dollars. Quit paying, quit buying chinese plastic, quit buying everything but the essentials!
Folks, I understand your frustration. And I have to admit I feel the same way. But I'm going to play the "devil's advocate" here; WLW 700 AM Radio's Mike McConnell (Cincinnati) had a good point. These bonuses are payment to executives per a LEGAL contract when they were hired. Now, regardless of the company's OVERALL performance, bonuses are paid if the executive lived up to the terms of the contract. for example, produce "X" amount of new business or meet some other business goal. And some divisons of AIG ARE profitable. Like I said, I agree with you all that see red when they they hear that "we the people" are giving money to failing businesses that are turning around and paying their top employees obscene bonuses. But the facts are that if we DON'T pay the bonuses required by a legal contract then the executive can turn around and sue the company. Then WE get to pay when he wins AS WELL AS his legal fees...
As frustrating as all this is, I'm glad I listen to talk radio with my head instead of with my heart...
I am as liberal as they come, however I wouldnt mind calling for the death of certain people, alot of people on this board deserve to die
Sadly some people deserve to die for humanity to improve, just a sad part of life, some people are so conciously evil and have done so much harm that death is really the only punishment, perhaps to at least set an example
I completely disagree, and who are you to decide who those people are?
This is simply hateful.
No one deserves to die because you don't like them.
On the board, use the ignore feature, as I'm about to do with you.
About being a bad person; that's a personal choice.
For once, I agree with freedom.
I think we should have made bailout money conditional to full disclosure of finances and the companies/declaring entering some form of bankruptcy. That way the court could have voided or ended ridiculous contracts, people who signed assinine contracts with them could have received pennies/dimes on the dollar like us normal *******s and the government could have specifically bought the toxic assetts instead of giving them a generic hand out/back slap.
It infuriates me that after eight years of Bush incompetence the Democrats were still to frickin wimpy to demand some intelligent checks and balance and suitably sharp-toothed penalties be included in the bailout measures Paulsen wanted.
BTW- not everyone at AIG had the wonderboy guaranteed bonuses. The specific department that had awarded the most turns out to be the one that brought the whole place down. It pisses me off that theses people are rewarded for utter greed/vanity/incompetence while school teachers, trashmen and any number of other hard working people hit the bricks because of an economy they played no part in crashing.
