The congressman that voted for the 90% tax on AIG bonus pay, should be remembered and voted out of office. The democrats put the loop-hole in that allowed the bonus money,and when they were caught they claimed to be outraged. The republicans were mad because they couldn't read or amend the stimilous bill before it passed. So they voted for the bonus tax, knowing it was unconstitutional. Giving the money back to the government is like sticking it up a wild hogs a**. The people that have been rewarded for failure, will spend the money more wisely than our government. Every law that is passed restricts freedom. If I made the rules two laws would have to be repealed before another is inacted.

Hehe...true enough. Let's remove all of them and start over (the laws and the legislators both). Though I'm curious, what would be your one rule? Since there couldn't be a second since 2 would have to be removed before 1 added?
ReplyDeleteJust a thought :)
Congress doesn't have a clue.
ReplyDeleteWhere I cannot reconcile paying out a bonus for losing a bunch of money I am more outraged with the witch hunt these bozos are undertaking while the real issue is the economy.
Those bonuses represent less than 10% of ONE percent of the money they sent AIG.
These Washington idiots should concentrate the over 8 BILLION dollars of PORK they crammed in the so called stimulus package.
Even though a rule is not the same as a law, the same method could apply. Most rules are inacted by the majority party to manipulate the vote in their favor. There are many rules that can be eliminated, like voting on a bill before its read.
ReplyDeleteIf members of the congress would read the bills before voting on them...
