House passes bill taxing AIG, other bonuses

Measure would place a 90 percent tax on some bailout related bonuses

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif, told colleagues, "We want our money back now for the taxpayers. It isn't that complicated."
So when will she and the rest of the failures we call Congress return their money?

I have to laugh at all of the finger pointing congress is doing. News flash; they signed the freakin' bill!!! I think it's BS that AIG gives bonuses while they're belly up, but c'mon they're a business, they're going to do what businesses do. As for congress, they're screwed they'll apply this tax, they'll get sued and lose.

I'm so glad people here get what is going on. That Barry and Congress are just saving face and making themselves look good by striking down the measure they implemented and knew existed.

Most of the people who have Obama's **** still bouncing in their mouth are thinking 'WOW! What an AWESOME president to do that! He's on MY side finally!'

Shocker: 30 second attention spans + economic crisis = this repeating over and over again.
