AIG's Bold Move and Why I'm Shorting the Long Bond

Who ever you are, did you even bother to read any of my replies to the other comments that disagreed with me? I said people should be paid for performance, not non- performance. Thats what a "bonus" means. I also stated that under the old guard (Mr Greenberg) this kind of stuff wouldnt go on. He would have had the good sense to understand the indignation caused by these 'in your face' acts AFTER they had to get billions from us to stay afloat and cancelled them. Same as the CEOs of the car companies taking their jets to DC. Very stupid PR in this voiltile environment. Lastly I dont understand your immature need to call me a "joke." All I did was express my opinion. I dont believe I used a pajoritive to discribe anyone personally.
