I'm referring to this year, at an insolvent firm, in a unprofitable year, where taxpayer dollars kept your firm afloat.

Here's my question:
If a firm got TARP money, and used it to pay bonuses - are you ok with that?
yes. As in the article I posted, this is ALL employees, secerataries, mail room, managers, etc. This $ helps the economy more than any tax rebate will.

I am also ok with the Big 3 automakers offering bonues for salesmen and dealershiops who have high sales. Do you think that all commissions and bonuses should be stopped by the automakers too?
