Since the simple, feeble-minded people who are outraged over the AIG bonuses choose to take a shallow, narrow-sighted, class warfare argument, we are going to take the same, simple approach to our argument: We are not outraged over the AIG bonuses.

If you'll remember, we channeled our outrage over the actual bailout bill itself.

For the president and legislators to now come back and say they're so upset...it's just political theater and a CYA approach.

First, these workers earned their bonuses.  Now legislators want to punish them?  How fair is that?  These workers did nothing wrong.  Legislators saw the contracts over a year ago, yet still voted for the bailout.

This is what happens when you don't read the g-damn bill you vote for.

Second, they have legally-binding contracts with these people.  If you think it's expensive now, trying paying all those legal fees that will come as a result.

Third, we're talking about trillions and trillions of bailouts, and they're concerned over a few million bucks?

Trying to make AIG's hard working employees the poster child through a 100 percent tax, as Harkin has proposed, isn't right and it isn't fair.

This is what happens when government gets involved in private enterprise.

What's done is done.  Just move on.  Because if you legislators lose next November, it ain't because of a few bonuses a year and a half earlier.  It's because you haven't done your homework, haven't read the bills, voted for them, then acted outraged.

People are fed up, and see through your bull-sh*t.
