A.I.G. (Aint I Greedy??) Executives Getting their Due

That is my new name for this corporation (Web site: http://www.aigcorporate.com/corpsite/)

and for their executives.

I have said this before and I will say it again. All these companies (and thus people) taking advantage of this bailout while continuing to take "over the top bonuses", still being overpaid, still flying corporate jets, and I am sure most still driving their BMW's and Mercedees Benz Automobiles.....

Well today, the public has spoke and hopefully has been heard when Congress decided to tax what ends up being (with state and local taxes included) the entire amount of the bonuses that the AIG Executives and other employees were given "under contract".

Contract-Shontract.....I do not care what they were promised (and neither do most of the other americans who expressed outrage) and I am glad that our representitives that we sent to Washington (most at least) agree and acted upon this matter.

I have hope again that maybe we can clean up this mess that we are in, mainly because of companies like AIG and others like it (pretty much the whole financial industry).

WE WILL NOT TOLERATE THIS KIND OF CRAP! BE WARNED!!!

And if you feel like voicing your opinion to the AIG folks themselves, here is a name and an address to do so:

Hillary Clinton-Close but No Cigar

Even though my choice for President of the U.S. did not come to pass as I had hoped, she will be what amounts to the Third most powerful person in the U.S. come 2009.

Barack Obama (president elect) asked Mrs. Clinton to be his "Secretary of State" in his new administration, which though does not officially start until the middle of Jan. 2009, has already taken on an air of what some call a "parallel presidency" of sorts.

I feel that Hillary will be one of the greatest representatives of this new administration and with her experience and that of her husband (our former president Clinton) and others in this new administration, I think there is now a "light at the end of the tunnel" with a hopeful end to this needless war, a fixing of the economy and other things that the GREATEST NATION on earth needs to do to get things straight once again and to make our nation one that is looked up to by other nations of the world again, like it once was.

I am so hopeful for this new administration and have good feelings about where we are headed with this new leadership. The world needs guidance and I firmly feel that the people that are about to undertake running the greatest country in this world will do us proud.
