WASHINGTON — At least 13 firms receiving billions of dollars in bailout money owe a total of more than $220 million in unpaid federal taxes, a key lawmaker said Thursday. Rep. John Lewis, D-Ga., chairman of a House subcommittee overseeing the federal bailout, said two firms owe more than $100 million apiece. "This is shameful. It is a disgrace," said Lewis. "We are going to get to the bottom of what is going on here."
I hope these Wall Street Fat Cats get what they deserve. Congress is moving forward with passage of a bill to tax 90% of their bonuses and in my opinion is a good step forward.

It means the condition reaks and they're gonna get a smell of it. But I suspect when they get to the bottom of it, Congress is gonna find itself staring back at itself.
