Illegal use of tax power to recoup outrageous bonuses — Freedom Watch shareholder suit only means to get justice
(Los Angeles, Ca. March 20, 2009). Today, the Chairman of Freedom Watch, the non-profit which promotes and protects individual liberties and fights for government ethics, issued the following statement:
-
“Having been caught with their hands in the proverbial “cookie jar,” the congressional elite of Washington, D.C., are attempting to pass confiscatory punitive taxes on the crooked AIG employees and officers who took large bonuses at shareholder and taxpayer expense. This belated effort to rectify this latest bailout outrage, which has incensed hard working Americans who cannot even makes ends meet for their families, is totally illegal. The only way to recoup the bonuses the crooked directors of AIG to pay for the damage they have done to the company and the nation is for the shareholders themselves to bring a lawsuit against these directors for the damages. Since the Obama regime would rather go on the Tonight Show than take action, the job falls to Freedom Watch to bring suit for these shareholders and the American people. This complaint has been prepared and will be filed and served no later than Monday, March 23, 2009, as shareholders from all over the United States are joining the suit.”
