> You have no idea what you are talking about. These people earned every dime.

That may or may not be so. I’ve said it many times: I DON’T CARE. It is a sideshow guaranteed to distract people like you. And it has worked a treat!

> It appears to me that you have the mob mentality of class warfare. The AIG execs are not the ones we should be going after, it is those idiots in DC.

America has quite a few problems right now. On one end of the scale, it has a bad case of acne. On the other end of the scale, it is bleeding from all orifices and its arse is on fire.

Yes, it should probably do something about the acne. But dealing with it now is a distraction, a side-show guaranteed to distract people like yourself.

It is more important, at this time, to deal with the bleeding and the fire. The acne can wait, surely?

one can look askance at the increase in class warfare and not take one’s eye off the big ball of wax. those who are weilding the pitchforks in the class war are the ones who are fixating on one thing. i think the rest of us have a pretty good idea of what the problems are and see the wave of populism as a manifestation of the bigger problem of encroaching socialism. That, is the goal of the left.

while i rail against posts like your’s and others on FR, which feed the class warfare rhetoric, don’t assume i am incapable of discerning the big picture. i just find it irritating to see such sentiments on a conservative website. it’s incongruent.

I agree that it is a distracted designed to take focus off what they are doing in Washington DC. You and I are not in disagreement over this.

Let them have their bonuses without punishing them for it. We have more important things to worry about than this stupid issue.

Our freedoms are being taken away faster than I anticipated. They want the public focused elsewhere.

I don’t think you and I are so far apart.

They are stoking the fires of hatred towards anyone who has more than the average person. I am not falling for this. I am concerned however that someone is going to be hurt or even killed. It is only a matter of time.

A bill of attainder (also known as an act or writ of attainder) is an act of the legislature declaring a person or group of persons guilty of some crime and punishing them without benefit of a trial.

Article I, section 9, clause 3 of the United States

No Bill of Attainder or ex post facto Law shall be passed.

As you can see, while the AIG rage might have been all about smoke and mirrors to distract and confuse the people, their actions were blatently unconstitutional and that is far more important then a case of acne.

I support a constitutional amendment redifining treason to include voting for unconstitutional legislation.
