Brilliant economist Michelle Malkin has stated it elegantly:

First They Came for AIG Bonuses

It's just outrageous. Patriotic, hardworking AIG executives have done a tremendous job for our country. Thanks to Wall Street billionaires, golf courses and yacht manufacturers all over America have prospered. Thanks to our corporate executives, Gulf Stream Jets dot the skies! Trickle-down economics has kept a whole army of K Street lobbyists employed. And this is not even to mention all the jobs created in offshore banking and the tax avoidance industry. It brings a patriotic lump to my throat just to think about it.

But now, all this is threatened. Just because AIG execs made one little mistake and caused the company to go bankrupt and receive $85 billion in government bailout money is no excuse to deny them their constitutional rights!

The Demoncrats just passed a bill to tax AIG executives 90% (90%!) of their taxpayer-financed bonuses! This is communism! It's against our constitution. If it's allowed to stand, no rich person will be safe. Before you know it, the government will try to raise the capital gains tax, reinstate the death tax, etc. You can see where this is going!

And of course, Osambo is going to waste all these new tax dollars on idiotic things like health care and education, while starving the military and prisons. What will become of Halliburton and Blackwater? Will Raytheon be able to sell their new pain ray machine? Will Dow Chemical see their napalm sales dry up? How will their CEOs survive without government-financed bonuses? Before you know it, they'll be out on the streets, begging for money to buy gas for their limos.

It just brings a tear to my eye.

Pray for AIG bonuses!

Hardworking? Tremendous job? WTF AIG would have failed if it was not bailed out by the taxpayers! How is that a tremendous job? they failed! That is why giving them millions of dollars in bouses from the taxpayers pocket is wrong!

The only reason AiG is failing is because rest of America let AiG down. If we weren't such a nations of deadbeats and defaulted on our mortgages just because the rates when up 10% AiG would be doing fine. There were trying to help people get homes and those people turned around and screwed AiG.

Am I? Did AiG's bond bundling scheme make it possible for Americans who were previously denied home loans to get one?

[Mr. Jingles]

I think it's only fair that out-of-work Americans donate all of their unemployment benefits to these execs; they are the ones who made it possible for them to have jobs to lose in the first place.

But when honest, hard-working Capitalist want a slice of pie, the left cries bloody murder. DESPICABLE!

They get payed millions a year working for AIG why do they need bonus?

[Meek and Humble]

If they are already skilled enough to manage to get jobs that pay them millions, I assume they are good enough to get bonuses.

WHY? Do think bundling loans to dead beats together and then forcing Moody's to rate such trash AAA is easy????? Not anyone can do that! Let's see you try and look a foreign investment banker in the face and tell him such a bundle of offal is as good as gold and a safe haven that pension fund if you think it is so easy. It takes American skills, brains and nohow to do this. These executives deserve every grand they get paid.

If they failed, than how come the government is giving them money to keep going? Do you give failures boosts like that? No. You give it to good honest workers who have been screwed over by a nation of deadbeats!

Attitudes like that make me sick... think how much could have been lost if these highly skilled money men had not used every ounce of their blood, sweat and tears, to do their very best for the economy.

Do you realize how much it costs to keep a LearJet in service? Do you have any idea just how much property tax one has to pay on a mansion in The Hamptons? And don't think for a minute that hiring lobbyists and buying congressmen is a trivial expense.

The days when a corporate executive could survive on a lousy $10 million a year are long gone. Since January 1, the government raised the minimum wage - I see no reason why they shouldn't raise the maximum wage as well. Fair is fair.

Rush Limbaugh, head of the Republican Party (as acknowledged by Michael Steele), explains why we must support the AIG bonuses:

The peasants with their pitchforks surrounding the corporate headquarters of AIG...And the president's own teleprompter is telling him to say that these executive are greedy and selfish and this is inciting people to behavior that could lead to violence if their threats are acted out....

President Obama's teleprompter tells him to say that the tired ways of the past didn't work, that we need a new way. Here we go; we've got the new way. We've got peasants with their pitchforks phoning in death threats at AIG. We have members of the United States Senate and the United States House of Representatives sounding like communist dictators....

This $500,000 limit on executive pay -- let me tell you why it won't work. New York City will die. ...Without the super wealthy in New York, it's over...

Well, at least someone has had the guts to stand up to the baying mob - Mr Limbaugh's message may not be what the unwashed want to hear, but it is the truth! (See also my signature for God's support.)

[BibleBeliever]

Rush Limbaugh understands that because Answers in Genesis (AIG) is too big to fail (only a true conservative who supported Bush and McCain understands this), having taxpayer money to pay for the bonuses of these brilliant AIG executives is the only moral solution. Now the spics and the negroes, because they're selfish, will wonder why if the government can give these godly AIG executives millions of dollars in bonuses but we're going to cut their welfare, I mean unemployment, benefits. The simple answer is because spics and negroes can't singlehandedly bring down the economy, so long as we keep them from robbing and looting (which the Republicans have done a very good job of).

[Bogdana Alkeav]

It is sufficiently despondent to see that America, according to the rule of that Moslem African person, Barack Of obama, it slowly turns in the nation accurately as my, Russia. Obama very much as Stalin in each way. Still, I to mole that it sees error in his ways, because I know America the large earth in the world, and I entrust that her people they could ever not select complete idiot.
