Are you Angry over bonuses paid?

It seems that the entire nation is angered over the bonuses paid by AIG, mostly to upper echelon employees who were/are directly responsible for the problems with that company. I would think that we would be more angered with the fact that AIG sent BILLIONS of the bail-out dollars to foreign banks in Germany, France and England! It's not the responsibility of the American Taxpayer to bail out foreign companies;, nor to shore up foreign nations banking industries! This is what has me much more angry than the bonus money. How do you feel about sending your hard earned tax money to foreign banks?

Update:

Sorry about the catagory. Thought it was only poklitics and government, didn't realize that it said military. Again I apologize for the mistake.

    The reason you are getting so hot and bothered is because that is how you are supposed to feel under Socialism.

    The question has shifted from "Am I doing my best?" to what is everyone else doing?

    There is a saying in the Socialist's countries: "If I don't steal from my job I am stealing from my family."

    Is this what everybody wants?

    Good grief.

    Not angry. When the bailout bill was passed, Sen. Chris Dodd (Democrat) was the one that put in an amendment to specifically exempt contracted bonuses that were in place before Feb 2009.

    The bonuses that were paid by AIG were already contractually obligated.

    If you are angry about it, you'll need to take it up with the Democratic Senators.

    Nope. If I had anger it may be geared in direction of Washington, D.C. Who gave AIG the money? If I provide little Jimmy $5, i could assume him to return back with a bag complete of candy. yet a to blame make certain could provide little Jimmy suggestions on how he can spend the $5. We call those prerequisites and rules. our babies in Washington have in no way heard of rules. I mean seem at how they run issues. can we actually assume young infants to make certain young infants. they do no longer pay attention to us (the dad and mom), they do what they like by using fact we've enable them to get uncontrolled under the impact of alcohol on skill.
