Hey, the AIG situation sucks, to put it mildly. But somebody really, really needs to whap a congresscritter or two with the concept of "ex post facto" before they start loudmouthing retroactive taxes . . .
Well, one of the national embarrassments was talking about legislation, which doesn't sound administrative to me. And I have a bias against the government seizing personal assets that were acquired in a legal fashion . . .
Then there is the question of taxing foreigners on income earned outside the US. I don't know what percentage of the bonuses that can of worms covers. Some, at least, from the reports and speculation I've seen.
