You have got to be kidding? We haven’t had a 90% tax bracket since Truman’s day.

Unconstitutional. Just like the empty suit. Illegitimate.

There should be so many legal challenges to this law. You can design a law to specifical punish certain people, especially something after the fact.

Do they just ignore that they knew of the bonuses and that it was Senator Dodd who placed the exemption for their pay outs in the bill?

An amendment also passed, stating the ‘sense of the house’ that the entire mess is NOT the fault of the magnificent TOTUS.
