It seems there are nearly as many "conservatives" on this site who follow the populist mantra as there are communists in the Obama movement.

But that knee jerk mentality is what rabble-rousing community organizers need to succeed.

RIGHT ON THE MONEY - and it is terrifying.

It is not a knee jerk response. What happened today in the House was wrong and to think Republicans had crafted something to take back 100% of the money.

There are a few things that are the bedrock of the capitalist system. One is the employment contract. It often includes things like salary, bonus, commission, benefits, etc.

In the porkulus bill they passed and signed into law they said they would uphold the bonus structure. That, whether I like it or not, was agreed too on behalf of the American taxpayer.

Turning around today and retroactively taxing 90% of it back?
