I know people are pissed etc but you can't just attack one group of people with a tax. Sometimes a contract will have a bonus if the work is done on time and under budget. Then they deserve that bonus. So you can't go fuck them just because. If i worked all year for 100k with the written contract of recieving x more in a bonus to even it out at such a date why should we now go after that?
Real bonuses should not be paid period. Don't tax them just tell the ceo to tell the employees "NO". We are almost bankrupt and you are lucky to have a job so of course no bonuses will be paid. How hard is all of this?

Except one thing, bonuses are things you get for doing a GOOD job. If they were doing a good job at AIG they wuldn't be getting bailout money now would they? They fact is if I loan you money I can dictate how you use it or choose not to loan you it al all. Tough shit for AIG.
