Please explain how the putative source of the money (which is fungible, of course) changes the fact that the bonus recipients are being punished for fulfilling their end of their contract and accepting AIG’s payout.

I assume you have used your federal tax return only for Obama approved purchases, yes? After all, the money came from the government.

While you are writing you may want to think about the fact that mortgages, car loans, insurance, and your very paycheck are all contracts, which now can be broken at will if some government yahoo can get up enough outrage over them. A contract is a contract is a contract... If a little brewed up outrage is all it takes, I will expect you to endorse the abrogation of any and all contracts, including your paycheck.
