A.I.G.

Why hasn’t the public revolted? Why isn’t there more outrage? Why aren’t students demonstrating like they did against Viet Nam in the 70’s and the Union Demonstrators in the 19th century? And where are the “Unabombers” and Timothy McVeighs of today? There’s no question that Americans are extremely furious that some despicable employees of A.I.G. have taken millions of dollars in bonuses. They should never have received bonuses from the money that American taxpayers gave to bail out their failing A.I.G. company. So tell me please, why aren’t Americans rallying against these crooks like they have in years past?

Most all of us know people who have lost their jobs. In fact, both a husband and wife I know have both lost their jobs. These people are having a hard time buying food, paying their bills, and making ends meet. Yet there are hundreds of A.I.G. employees who each received a million dollars or more bonus. One employee even received $4,000,000. I can’t believe how unfair and unbelievable it is.

I do believe that people should be rewarded for a job well down. But such outrageous amounts are unacceptable and something should be done!
