Why be mad at AIG? The Democratic Congress and Obama are the ones who cut the check to AIG.
“Working Families says it was formed by a coalition of community organizations, labor unions and neighborhood activists. “We’re bus drivers from Hartford, students in New Haven, small business owners in Fairfield, Wal-Mart workers from New Britain, lawyers from South Windsor, building service workers in Danbury, police officers in Waterbury, submarine builders in Groton, and school paraprofessionals in Ellington.”
Students in New Haven? Yalies??

They are a thug group closely affiliated with ACORN. I don't really care about AIG executives but the idea of organizing people to visit homes of targeted executives is extremely dangerous. I fear we are going to be seeing a lot more of this.
This kind of game can be played by both sides. Time for some tea parties in front of the homes of Congressional types with lots of photos of “how” they live ...
We start showing up at these imbeciles’ houses and this crap by the flying monkeys gets stopped cold.
I only wished Republicans would personalize politics and political enemies. Too ballsy, requires giving the finger to ‘our friends across the isle’. Requires to make a stand with one group, or values, and oppose the real, living, voting, tax eating others.
The corporatist, elite, country club, limp wrist, didn’t you go to Harvard/Yale too? Republicans can’t bring themselves to make, point out, take out enemies.
So, they are what they are, worthless.

BINGO...it’s a dog and pony show to gain more power and control...
The arsonist/fireman syndrome...
There is a very legitimate reason that “envy” is a deadly sin. It destroys the soul and these folks are showing by their words and deeds how destructive envy is.
How about showing them where members of Congress live? Or how about where union bosses live? Or how about some of the presidents of left leaning NON-PROFIT organizations?
Half of our nation is a bunch of idiots.
Move to Russia or Iran and try that crap.
The ENVY FRENZY. Bambi’s specialty.
BLOAT
Someone is going to end up getting killed because of this. This sh*t just makes me sick. I am so ashamed of the behavior of much of this country now.
They keep pushing this class envy and it won’t be long until they whip some out of work guy into acting........its what they want a full blown class war.
Managers and executives who meet goals that are designed to maximize profit and share-value for the owners of the company, the shareholders, deserve their bonuses. Managers and executives whose goals are gamed so that they can be met without offering anything of value to the owners don’t (cf. the ‘goals’ set by Enron or Worldcom management for their executives for an especially egregious example of how this can happen.)

As I undetstand it, these weren’t performance bonuses at all, they were retention bonuses paid to individuals who were basically given the task to make their own jobs go away.
