If we can prevent the government from wasting the labor of the people
under the pretense of caring for them, they will be happy. - Thomas Jefferson

Can't believe I forgot...

So, a handful of weeks ago when the nation collectively got their panties in a bunch over a couple hundred MILLION dollars in bonuses to AIG execs, I totally forgot to point out the $4 BILLION Merrill Lynch gave in bonuses a month early (12/08) to avoid losing those bonuses as they went out of business.

tsk tsk tsk... We're such sheep! They got away with a whole bunch more money without much of a bitchin' at all. But when it became popular to bitch about things like this you suddenly have Barney "Don't like 'em? Tax 'em!" Frank demanding their heads...

Whatever. I guess that one was a freebie. Your welcome.

THIS is whyipaytaxes.
