Grand Theft Taxes - AIG On Top, Taxpayers Left Behind

AIG still owes the U.S. government $124 billion from its record-setting $182 billion bailout. Today it will pay approximately $100 million in bonuses to the financial products division, the same unit that brought AIG to the brink of failure in 2008.

Now, that's management!

Truth is, if you can steal $124 billion from taxpayers and get away with it, then you deserve the hundred million dollar bonus.

Meanwhile, back on main street, robbing a purse followed by shoplifting, and later carrying marijuana can land you in jail for life.

"Last year the President was outraged at the $45 million in bonuses," Brady told Geithner at the hearing. "A year later the $100 million in bonuses now, 'Oops,' The administration's handling of AIG resembles the Keystone Cops. And it'd be funny if it wasn't leaving the taxpayers crying about it."
I wonder how much more of this shit Americans will take before lynch mobs start gathering spontaneously in the streets...
