Not just because of the article in the link but because I have learned so much more about AIG. I think what happened to the employees that were paid bonus was just appalling -- people riding past their homes, death threats, and public ridicule.
I don't know what Congress was thinking with the idea of a "special" income tax on just those bonus. And as the writer points out, they have been hung out by the company. It's really shameful.

As I understand it, just one unit, 400 people that I believe were located in London and dealt with derivatives are responsible for 95% of the fiasco. I don't think this has gotten very much media attention -- I think I saw it as a blip on one of the financial news reports.

Just goes to show how out of hand this whole thing has become.
