This is very wrong. They are targeting specific individuals, after the fact, for something lawfully given.

It's called Bill of attainder(sp) and is unconstitutional....Congresscritters can't 'go after' individuals or small groups of people. Of course with a populist congress, a populist whitehouse, and a populist Justice Branch, all rich people (people who make more than 12,000/yr) should simply hang themselves with piano wire (Barney Frank thinks so after being appraised by AIG CEO Lilly of the effect this strawman was having on his employees). This was simply a class envy strawman that the kabuki federal gov't is throwing up as a trial balloon before electing themselves to lifetime positions. looks like it's succeeding.
