The AIG Bonus Millionaires
————————-

The fact that many of the “AIGBonus Millionaires” have now returned their bonuses speaks volumes.

So does the fact that AIG offices world-wide have now removed the AIG logo displayed on their buildings.

Was it fear of the mobs demonstrating in their neighborhoods that prompted the bonus millionaires to return this ill-earned cash? I don’t think so. After all, with all that money, they could simply have shut the house down and gone to the Bahamas for a couple of months till everything blew over . So why didn’t they do that?

What prompted them to return the cash was good old remorse and guilt. The same thing happened to Maddof. Maddor wasn’t “caught”…..his conscience simply got the better of him and he confessed.

No one is worth $5,000,000 in “compensation” including financial traders, people who hit a ball with a stick, hurl a ball into a basket or catch a ball and run with it past a chalk line on the ground. Ditto with the Hollywood crowd and the massive compensation packages available depending on the size and public exposure of one’s mammary glands and so on.

The fact that these things do happen every day shows the moral decay of the nation.

It is a sure formula for civil disturbances and insurrections and it’s a sure formula for attracting tens of millions of young Americans into the bosom of Socialism and similar anti-capitalist causes world-wide.

A large and important chunk of the philosophical undermpinnings of Al-Qaeda and similar organizatioins is based on the moral outrage they feel towards what they perceive as the moral depravity, the outlandish social disequilibrium and the massive gaps between the haves and the have nots in American society and America’s export of these “principals” overseas into their territories.

A lot of young Americans are now too beginning to perceive things differently.

It is an ominous sign.
