Well, it seems the democrat-controlled Congress is at it again.
It sounds clicheed, but it's true. All they know how to do is tax and spend. Okay, they also know how to bloviate.
With each bill they pass to the sound of giddy Nancy's gavel, they inch us closer to disaster and show us their true colors (if we're smart enough to look).
They spent our money to fund all of their stimulating projects, most of which won't even pretend to boost the economy until next year. Then, when their new M. O. (of rushing through legislation like pigs in a trough filled with rotten ACORNS and 'hope n' change') backfires, they rush through
a bill to tax AIG guys to death.
I have no love of executives who get bonuses during economically uncertain times after their companies received a big check from the taxpayers, but I also don't want to rob them blind. It obviously looks odd giving your execs bonuses (unless they waived their salary) after getting a bailout, but there was
no stipulation from Congress as to where the funds could or could not go. This is like forcing someone to go to a rehab center after throwing them cases of Jose Cuervo and a crate of limes. This lame attempt at correcting themselves (C.Y.A.) just shows how Nancy and the gang are blinded by their political power and ideological ambitions for wrecking this country.
By taxing (basically 100%, when all is said and done) of these funds belonging to individual American citizens, we must take note of the power these politicians wield. Today AIG, tomorrow the rest of us.
