What if it was your Dad or Mom...why do we defend bonuses for those at AIG-many not with the company at taxpayer expense, but shred contracts with average middle class people who did in fact work for their pension which is more than can be said about AIG execs...why does the little guy always get the shaft?

My dad worked his ass off and became president of the company. He cut his own retirement deal. He thought for himself and did not subjugate himself and his future to the whims of union bosses.

Great point you bring up.

Millions for individual executives.....

The short answer, is because the execs know how to bribe people. At all levels.

Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac were a far bigger fraud and bigger bonuses than AIG.
