DGH, I really have to disagree with your statement.<br> <br> Whether or not these obligations were incurred to pay commissions earned by those (who's contracts failed) is really not important. The contracts failing and business imploding was a business risk assummed by the AIG and its shareowners that these individual were hired to carry out. They did their job; which was not illegal. <br> <br> If they met the requirements of their contract they need to be paid. PERIOD.<br> <br> While sure its unfotunate that AIG should have sought protection it did not; and since it did not those obligations need to be honored. That is what use to separate this country, its laws and beliefs from cuba, russia, china, and other communist/facist countries. <br> <br> Had the contract included performance residuals - like movie star contracts and TV sitcoms (maybe you will undertand this point) that would be one thing; but apparently the duties these individuals performed were completed. Its inherently unfair to judge these after the fact. Neal, please educate some of these people on contract law.<br> <br> Now - as for Senate and house demoncrats wanting to tax these things at 100% well that amounts to a taking and that is wrong and I dare say will not stand up to appeal. This may be the start of reprecussions that can not be stopped. <br> <br> This is sickening.<br> <br> Good day, Sir
