Who Voted for HR 1586 To Punish Private Citizens UnConstitutionaly

Please do not be outraged at the IGA employees who recieved the Retension Bonuses. These were individuals who, despite the rumors, were not responsable for running AIG into the ground...HOWEVER, even if they were, the TRUE outrage needs to be dircted at Washington who porked out BILLIONS into the private sector in order to enlarge the Government and their power. Congress has now attacked and punished individuals via a tax, which is Unconstitutional (Article 1 sec 9) Which states Congress can not pass a law that is retroactive and also the Taking Clause which forbids Congress to use their taxing powers punitively against a certain demographic.

If this is allowed, then who is to say they will not develope a special tax against other private citizens if they say something Barney Frank or Nancy Pelosi doesn't like?? You argue that these was a compnay that recieved Federal Money...hhhmmm...how many organizations, demographics, and individuals get something from the Federal Government?

Do you get Food Stamps...who is to say the Fed won't take that away or more from you if you don't do or say what they want?

Do you recieve Fed money for school? housing? tax breaks? Think about it....are you a 501 (c)? what could the govermnet pass retroactively, thus making you responsable for taxes on money you recieved in the past? Can't pay, ok, they will just take your proerty and throw you in jail...unless of course you do what they want and say what they want...!!??!! I hope my point is getting across!

This is not about IGA, it is about the ABUSE of power that is monumental in our countiry's history!!

This is not a minor issue folks! This is the Governmnet seeking out and attacking private citizens!!!
