*** ...the ex-post facto nature of Washington’s bonus-taxation scheme comes under the definition of a bill of attainder....the Constitution prohibits such schemes

Include Øbama, they had to get their political campaigns funded first

A Democrat’s greed, runs a World to economic ruin
The Stalinist show trials over corporate bonuses were just a poly to distract the ignorant proletariat from the fact that 0bama and crew are destroying our economy in order to create true socialism.

Why let the constitution get in the way of anything at all? If our policy makers are so willing to go running around with their hair on fire in such a public way over a problem they themselves created and trample all over the constitution in such a blantant way, I think we should all be worried about how far that kind of thing will go.
Legally the government can’t legally do anything like tax these bonuses. But as an 80% stakeholder in the company I would assume that we can make sure it doesn’t happen again and fire all these people who’s actions cost the company billions.
The more I think about it the more I like the idea of making politicians give back any campaign cotributions from cmpanies getting taxpayer bailout funds.
