> I found this quite interesting. Any company that was given over $5bil in government relief and still gives a bonus to it’s employees will have to pay a 90% tax on it. What I think is messed up is some of these people getting a bonus have no control over the say that they wanted the bailout. The bonuses some of these guys get are based on a contract, set in stone before the recession started. I think it should be taxed, but 90% is outrageous. So the guy who got $100 all year in bonuses will have to pay $90 back. But to play fair, I also think it’s messed up that the company is giving out bonuses in it’s current state.

first of all

" But to play fair, I also think it’s messed up that the company is giving out bonuses in it’s current state"
