AIG stuff

What? You are going to tax the hell out of those bonuses? I can understand the reaction. I can. But I don’t like it. Why?

I don’t want the government doing something illegal or immoral to get back the bonus money. I don’t want those bonuses paid out, but don’t dump a tax on them after the fact. I don’t think it is legal, rather I should say it shouldn’t be legal, to tax someone AFTER the fact.  In particular you can vote in a new LAW to tax someone after the fact.

So go after those bonuses, definitely. But don’t compromise our ethics to do it.
