#2 Since Congress is the ultimate cause of 90% of this mess, they should have their pay taxed at 90%, too.

ALL of their pay.

After all, they're always whining about fairness....

#3 Political posturing, nothing more. I am certain there are loop-holes big enough to drive a truckload of cash through. That or there will be processes written into next years tax code to cover this. How stupid do they think we are??? Money was given out and will never get back. Next elections will see tons of cash going into reelection campaigns.

#5 I'd really love to see how they are going to collect on the foreign employees who received the bonuses....in London where the offending AIG unit is based.

#6 I would prefer they forget about AIG and not make fools of themselves by passing a retroactive bill of attainder. Instead, they should prevent the payment of bonuses at Fannie Mae and Freddy Mac. Better yet, disestablish them.
