Jimmy, I know what you are saying but your comparison is all wrong, not even close. First of all, if and only if any large construction companies get any bailout money - that is a stretch to say that workers will be paid overtime with that money, even if they do spend some on overtime pay for one reason or another, so what? they worked hard for it and over 40 hours pr whatever, it's nothing at all like a bonus whatsoever. I thought a bonus was paid to you for excelling at your job so much that the company did well and prospered so they can afford to spread the wealth right? well the higher ups still getting bonuses in my opinion don't deserve that bonus at all since the company was tanking. You're not going to convince me otherwise.
I'm just pissed that my son turned 17 in 2008 and I am going to have to pay the federal government another 1000 bucks taxes this year
I hate the thought of having to give them money to give away in a money grab, our government has failed us.
