im sure everyone hears a lot of talk on the news lately about AIG and the bonus's some executives received, and how AIG has sued them over the 90% tax congress passed. a lot of republicans, and some democrats, have said the tax is unconstitutional.
now this is my question. people say the government is based on the constitution, which it is. and this tax may or may not violate the constitution. but i dont think thats even an issue here. the constitution is NOT the ultimate law of this country, and i dont care how many people say it is. the highest court and judicial system in this nation is, has been, and was always meant to be, the people.
when the majority of the people are outraged that these bonus's were given out and think they should be returned, that should be the final word. the people are the law of this country.
