Because they already fulfilled their obligation to the contract.
85% ARE STILL WORKING THERE




This is a pittance of what AIG got. Remember that - 1/1000th.

Wanna bitch? Read your article...

There are still more bonuses owed at AIG, err, I mean AIU (haha), and they add up to a billion dollars. It isn't the taxpayers job to make sure ANY bonuses are paid out.

I know those people didn't work in that department, but IF WE had not injected all that taxpayer money into the company, NONE of them would have jobs. And, eveyone else in America is having their contracts renogotiated, and taking pay cuts, or losing their jobs. What makes AIG so fucking special?

In addition, these are NOT ordinary times. Even though those particular people didn't cause the crash at AIG, AIG was a huge part of the problem. The people who work there should just suck it up, like everyone else in this country, and agree to take the money AFTER the taxpayers are paid back. What is wrong with asking them to do that, especially since a bunch of those bonuses are over a million dollars? And there will be more coming. We have to stop it, NOW.
