Will Obama tax this bailout bonus?

Where is the Anger in Washington and across America over this bailout bonus plan? Fannie and Freddie giving retention bonuses to their employees to the tune of 210 Million dollars.More of your tax dollars at work, now I'm stimulated.

    Good question. Obama will only tax this bailout bonus if he perceives that not taxing it will erode his "personal popularity." Obama only feigned outrage about the AIG bonuses when he realized its unpopularity with the public. Unfortunately, that's what he have now--an American Idol President who is now responsible for bringing us into the NWO.

    Hey Tom, just for the record I'm mad about it. I'm also thinking people are just getting used to it. Seems to be happening all the time. We have Criminals in Congress and we pay whopping bonuses to people that our tax dollars kept employed. I just wish I could evade taxes and get a bonus!!
