WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Senate Democrats want to tax the controversial bonuses doled out to AIG employees who work for the division that led to the company's downfall.
Congress is looking at ways to deal with the outrage surrounding AIG's controversial bonuses.
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid announced on the Senate floor Tuesday that the tax-writing Senate Finance Committee will pursue a legislative fix in such a way that the "recipients of those bonuses will not be able to keep all their money -- and that's an understatement."
Senate Finance Committee Chairman Max Baucus, D-Montana, will propose a special tax within the next 24 hours, Reid said.
Are you kidding me? And you libs cried about the Patriot Act???? Your government is goign after private individuals money! They are going to seize private property! There was no agreement that AIG could not payout bonuses! This is fuXckin robbery! If Obama signs this he should be impeached. Im serious here. This is the most ridiculous spectacle of government power I have ever seen. this better go to the supreme court.
WHY ARENT WE SEIZING THE PROPERTY OF PEOPLE NOT PAYING THERE MORTGAGES! THEY VIOLATED THEIR AGREEMENT> THESE PEOPLE DID NOT!!!!!!!!
Class warfare from the Dems. I hope AIG EES say FU and walk off - please!
