Echo of the Past

So the recent outrage I keep hearing about is these Bonuses some AIG executives received. Let me first say, I am not outraged. Now that that is out of the way, let me explain why.

While listening to all this outrage from regular folk, to congresspersons, to television personalities, to the President himself, I get this deep feeling of Deja Vu. I am certain i have heard this cry before.

I decided to do some digging, when have I heard the outcries about people not spending the taxpayers money wisely. Then it hit me like a 800 billion ton brick. That's right there were a lot of taxpayers that were outraged that our government would hand out our hard earn money to companies that can't even support themselves.

But that still didn't seem to put an end to my feelings. So I dug deeper. that is when it it hit me like an avalanche. Oh my, people have been complaining for years about the amount of money we as taxpayers give to a government that continues to fail us.

So please people the next time you want to complain about some company that gives a bonus to some idiot that really doesn't deserve it. Look in the mirror and think to yourself. "Is the person I help put in charge, really doing the right things with the money I give them?"
