Obama Makes AIG Employees the Scapegoat
Employees Fear for Their Lives: The Other AIG Outrage
A mid-level employee, granted anonymity because she continues to work in the company’s financial products unit (though not with credit default swaps), said some executives there had hired private security firms to protect their homes following two weeks of public outrage over the payment of bonuses to executives with emergency funds allocated by the government.
“They fear every day for their safety,” the employee said of her colleagues, some of whom have reported receiving hostile calls at home.
She said some people’s children have been threatened on their college campuses and employees’ parents have received angry phone calls.
I have one word for people who blame AIG or AIG’s employees for this mess: Idiots. And it says a lot about the honor of an American President who would use these people as a scapegoat to cover up the lies and corruption of his own band of brothers in Congress. Not to even mention the absolute trashing of the Constitution Obama’s administration is currently doing – choosing to tax these people at 90% is criminal.
We need to support these AIG employees in any way we can. If the government gets away with this, they can choose to tax YOU at criminal rates any time they want. Remember that.
