Too bad the Republicans fall for populism over the rule of law. I’m no fan of the bonuses, but the fact is, they were allowed by the stimulus. To say the IRS can now seize them is VERY DANGEROUS.
I agree, it isn’t out of the realm of possibility that the government might look at you and say “Hey, that bonus was too high. Gimme some of that.” AIG, though, has done little to help itself. If they had done 99 out of 100 things wrong, they might have managed, but they have struck out 100% since the start of this fool deal.
