While AIG continues what I beleive to be CRIMINAL behavior, tax-payers paying for wealthy executives bonuses, the American public continues to do nothing but idly stand by and allow this to continue. Remember the Boston Tea Party? When will Americans finally have enough of the pirating and looting of the tax-payers pockets while lining their own with Million dollar plus bonuses for a FAILED business. How ludicrious!
Didn't we use to Stone people for less criminal behavior? When will it end, when will the American people finally stand up and say ENOUGH?
If you're not furious, YOU'RE NOT PAYING ATTENTION!
From the AP Wire:
Connecticut's attorney general says documents turned over to his office by American International Group Inc. (AIG) shows the company paid out $218 million in bonuses, higher than the $165 million previously disclosed.
Attorney General Richard Blumenthal's office received the documents late Friday after issuing a subpoena. Blumenthal says the documents show that 73 people received at least $1 million apiece, and five of those got bonuses of more than $4 million. The financially ailing insurance giant has been under fire for giving bonuses after receiving more than $182.5 billion in federal bailout money. AIG spokesman Mark Herr declined to comment Saturday. Blumenthal said the newly revealed number will "further fuel the justified anger and revulsion that people feel."
