The U.S. House of Representatives voted today to tax the bonuses of AIG employees 90%. This is an effort to recover the $165 million in bonuses that the company gave out, despite receiving over $100 billion in federal bailout money. Amazingly, a majority of Republicans voted against this bill. It seems that they will vote against anything that President Obama supports. Altogether the bill passed with 328-93 support, but 87 Republicans voted “No”. That leaves just 6 Democrats voting “No”. The next time the Republicans complain about President Obama’s letting AIG executives receive bonuses, remind them that they voted against recovering the money.
