What kind of company takes
$170,000,000,000
(yes, that’s BILLION)
from the taxpayers, because their company is going to fail and cause financial armageddon if it does… and then gives its crooked leadership
$165,000,000
(yes that’s MILLION)
in bonuses and ‘retention payments’ for causing the mess?
I don’t care if it’s how financial professionals are compensated. When I do crappy work, I dont’ get compensated… In fact, I’d be at home collecting unemployment if I did as bad a job as they have.
In fact, sometimes (currently) even when I do GREAT work, I don’t get my bonus… because of the greater economy.
To make matters worse, we’re told that although the government now has an
80% ownership stake in AIG
there is nothing our representatives can do to get that money back.
BULL.
We should be (and I am) completely outraged.
Anyone else with me in filing a class action lawsuit on behalf of the American People against AIG, naming the federal treasury as an accomplice, over this highway robbery of our hard earned money?
