AIG: Shame on You


Are there any ethical, logical, moral corporate leaders out there?! All the debate and news coverage on the AIG bonuses is saddening and discouraging.


I hear peoples stories on a daily basis of not being able to pay their monthly mortgage, their utility bills, and back taxes. People are out of work and more are losing their jobs or being downsized weekly. If they are working, they are working all hours of the day (and night) to get by or they are working more than one job.


AIG employees are taking an extra 165 Million dollars in bonuses in the midst of our economic problems. One Senator jokingly suggested some involved either resign or commit suicide.


Why haven't I heard this solution? Give the money back! Anyone receiving a bonus, tear up the check. Don't cash it. Give it back. Do they have no conscience? Who are these men? Women?


Take a cue from Zacchaeus and give back to the American people the money you are "cheating" them out of.
