AIG

Give me a break!! What else can they do with taxpayer money???

Since when is a company who is NOT profitable and receiving government (taxpayer) money be allowed to dole out millions in bonuses????!!!!!

My husband's company has to be profitable before he gets a bonus. AIG says its hands are tied. If they don't pay, employees can sue. Give me a break! Where does it say in their contract that if they lose billions, they are still entitled to a bonus???

And yet, the double standard applies to the automakers, who may go under and under constant threat of their loans being called by our government.

The difference is the AIG executives have money, and the automakers employee the middle class.
