Reply #60: If you think about my question, I wasn't referring to the AIG bonuses

[DainBramaged]

why is this so hard to grasp?

Let me try to simplify it. (I thought DU was overrun by really smart people).

This is the FEDERAL GOVERNMENT breaking a contract between a company and an employee over a bonus, a bonus that was guaranteed long before there was a bailout. If you had a contract with your employer, and up till now, they HAD to honor the contract, no matter how silly the stipulations it contained were, but now the GOBERNMENT says, nope, contract is worthless, it can be broken, then precedence is set, and the concept of the employee contract is dead.

THAT is my point, but almost everyone took the route of tarring and feathering me instead of thinking about this.

You should all go back to posting captions under Sarah Palin photos.
