There are two schools of thought on this AIG bonus nonsense. There's the mob rule mentality practiced by Congress and populists and agitators and self promoters who want to get that bonus money back by punitive taxation or physical threats or by shaming these incompetents into returning the money. Then there's the calm thinking rich radio boobs who say hey wait, this is no big deal, it's a contract, it's just 1% of the money, it's owed them, it's an overreaction, let them keep the money. Now who do you hate worse?I hate mob mentality. It leads to bad decisions and violence and you have to hang around people with drooling problems and low IQ's . They're not always wrong, just 99% of the time.
You know what I hate worse? Rich people telling the rest of us what's good for the country. Substitute the word "me" for "the country' and you have the gist of their message. Meanwhile some guy in a Ford Festiva with a rust problem with an I Found It bumper sticker actually buys into the rich radio boob's message which seems to be "it's a contract and we can't start breaking contracts". Horsehockey! When the Republicans made a blatant attempt to bust an AAW union contract last fall, the rich radio boobs spread bullcrap about the average auto worker making $75 an hour. Where was the moralizing about a "contract" then? These guys, and you all know who they are, are pigs. Self aggrandizing porkers.
So you know what? If I have to pick a side here, I'd say "it's about time we had ourselves a hangin'!"

and that PIG... but not in a good way :)
I'm with ya 100%! The rich and their governmental puppets (most of whom are rich too) have been getting by with economic murder for years. "PIG" is symptomatic of what ails our country: Unbridled corporate greed, unjust corporate exploitation, and undue government influence. If it takes nationalizing all of parasitic Wall Street to get their messes straightened out, so be it, and you can call me the biggest socialist who ever lived. It is high time the average working citizen got a fair shake instead of constantly being under the boot of corrupt corporate criminals!
