Then the retroactive fining/taxing of AIG bonuses was _civil_? & Refusing to pay those _CIVIL_ fines would not have been met with the CRIMINAL charge of tax evasion?
The amount was CERTAINLY more than $20, were they afforded a Jury Trial?
PS - The Constitution says NOTHING about that being ONLY criminal; to say that is to rely on human tradition... which tend to make the Constitution of none effect.
