Boehner Against the AIG Tax

Boehner apparently has his head up someones ass to not see that AIG's bonus's were BS. it obviously
was AIG money that paid for his campaign.

Interesting. I've always thought that you shouldn't be able to tax something just to make people stop doing it. That hasn't been the stance taken though with cigarette taxes.

Watched a video yesterday about this. It noted that "They (AIG) may be very good men and women, but the fact is, this group of people did a lousy job. They’ve cost the American people a lot of money. So maybe losing them wouldn’t have been such a bad idea to begin with." Its sad that this is the world we live in, but it is ... hopefully we learn from this mistake. As much of a mistake as the bailout was, I don't feel you can tax the bonus to stop them from receiving it.
