Eighty-five Republicans joined 243 Democrats to impose a 90 percent retroactive tax on bonuses given to employees with family incomes above $250,000 at American International Group and other companies that have received at least $5 billion in government bailout money.
So many big and obvious things wrong with this bill that I don't even have the time or energy to enumerate them.
Just when you thought the plunging market on Republican integrity and principle had bottomed out. Think again.
Political kudos to Nancy Pelosi for setting the buffoonery trap.

I have not read the House bill - does it cover all bonuses to employees with family income > $250,000 or jus those employed by companies receiving Federal 'bail out' money.
With all the heat and 'mis speakings' by Geitner and Dodd on AIG bonus loophole do you think we have heard the last of the "we inherited this mess" excuse?
