Atlas is Shrugging-—this might be just one, but I believe it is the start of a trickle, which will lead to a tsunami.
Keep punishing the producers and innovaters in this country, and you will have instant deplorable conditions which will not lead to a turn around of the economy which the Democraps are destroying.
Bunker time is just around the corner. The slick talking Kenyan and his partners in crime will not be able to stop this mess which they created or greatly contributed to.
This was the predictable result of Congress’ witch hunt and demagoguery of those at AIG. I would expect AIG’s end to be precipitous and imminent, resulting in substantially diminished returns on the taxpayers’ investment.
Gone Galt.
I would encourage everyone to go to the nytimes.com link, not just so as to read the entire letter, but also to drive up the hit count on the letter. Let the Old Grey Whore know she did the right thing—this time—by printing the letter, even if it was only in the NY edition.
I have been disgusted from the beginning at the way our citizens went after these people with their lynch mob mentality. It was pathetic.
It is not Obama or congress bringing this country down, it is it’s own miserable citizens. Whine, whine, whine, it’s not fair, you owe me.
I am not rich. I have struggled with my head just above water, and frankly, it is because of MY decisions, nobody else’s. Do I envy some people? Of course I do. Instead of whining about it, I work harder. It took me learning some things the hard way as well as maturity to come to be comfortable looking back and seeing my mistakes. However, I do not begrudge someone earning their money. Nor do I look down on a person working as a janitor or fast food employee, they are at least working. Are there cheats and con artists? Yes, but most are not.
Again, with the instant news, we get pertinent facts after the fact.
from the letter:
None of us should be cheated of our payments any more than a plumber should be cheated after he has fixed the pipes but a careless electrician causes a fire that burns down the house.
This guy pisses me off. Assuming what he says in the letter is correct, he earned the bonus he was paid. He is allowing himself to be brow-beaten into feeling guilty for being properly rewarded for his ability and efforts. He should keep every dime of the bonus - except those dimes that he would drop buying a new car (would benefit auto-workers) or buying a new boat (would benefit the shipyards) or buying a second home (would benefit the many trades involved in building a house). Shame on him for being gutless! Stand up for yourself and enjoy the profits of your labors!
It is ironic that Congress critters are outraged at AIG contract bonuses because they receive “taxpayer” dollars yet they remain silent that ACORN, who also receives taxpayer dollars, can organize a bus terrorization trip.
some of my liberal friends are scratching their heads and smartening up a little bit.
one of them actually made the article her status too! wonders never cease.
