The AIG bosses have finally succumbed to pressure and returned some $50 million dollars in bonuses that they recently received only God knows for what reason since they have practically ruined the company over the last few years. The recent economic downturn has hurt everyone and will continue to do so for at least one or two years more until the world’s economies come out of the current recessions.

In the meantime, hundreds of thousands of people lost their jobs including banking jobs. After lots of pressure from the average tax payer who paid dearly out of his/her own pocket to bailout these huge companies, the AIG bosses were forced to return the millions of dollars in bonuses that they were awarded recently. But don’t worry, they are not going hungry. They have more money that you and me and they will continue to have more money than most of us for many years to come. Even if they don’t receive their bonuses this year, they will receive them next year at an inflated rate to make up for this year’s loss. These men are the masters of our modern world and they always come out winning.

Let us common folk be happy for this temporary victory until the final battle!
