Don't you believe we should uphold the law?
Don't you believe In the US Constitution?
It's ok to hate the rich but be careful. You may someday be considered rich by some people.

At least at my company the bonus payouts are tied to company performance. If the company doesn't make the performance gates then the bonus is reduced or canceled. Did AIG make the gates....Make me laugh!
They gave themselves a 100% bonus based on the previous year. The automakers have contracts with the autoworkers...did these blue collar workers have to give back pay and benefits? You bet! Seems to me, a lowly blue collar worker, a double standard is a foot. Why should the AIG contracts be honored but the UAW contracts. I await your answer.
