- I see absolutely nothing in the definition of "bonus" that says taxpayers are supposed to have anything to do with it.......

"There is no program, no policy, no ideology and certainly no philosophy back of Fascism, as there is back of almost
every other form of government. It is nothing but a spoils system.`` ~ George Seldes, ``Facts and Fascism," 1943

1. Do they hand out bonuses every time they refill the coffee pot at AIG?

How many times a year are these greed a******* getting bonuses?


:wow: :wow: :wow:

[DeSwiss]

2. Refill the pot? Surely you jest.

That might involve getting their hands dirty or something worse...... "work."

No, the wealthy always throw the "used ones" away when they get empty (or give it to the maintenance staff as a gift so they can feel good about themselves) and then just go and buy a new one.


- I mean they do have their standards......

8. but they have bills

their houses, their yachts, their cars, their first class trips. i mean someone has to pay for these. why don't we?
since we're such a socialist country, doesn't it make sense for the little people to pay for the big people and their spending whims, warfare and spoils? no, wait...that's fascism...

9. Pitchforks, folks. Pitchforks.

10. good being rich

I think it's crazy how every time we turn around people in the working class are being laid off from jobs they have had for years and the rich keep getting bailed out. The saying must be true that the rich get richer and the poor get poorer. I just think that the government isn't doing enough to fix the economy for those who are losing their families and their possessions. Why help out to those who already have. AIG could have found something better to do with the money that they have. They don't work as hard as the the people who are losing everything.
