Throw (virtual) tomatoes at AIG!
March 20, 2009 12:48 pm Finance, TaxesMove on has a interesting way of showing the distaste of the current issues with AIG.
No need to get rough, get virtually rough!
But in all seriousness, the 165 million is absurd.
There are levels of Tomato throwing…as through more you learn more about AIG and what happened with all that dough.
Doh! We need to have more strings when lending money. Can’t we just use the same contracts they make Joe-the-Plummer fill out when he is trying to get his first unsecured credit card. This is Credit we are talking about.
Here’s the Moveon letter for you read for your selves:
Dear MoveOn member,
Y’know, the AIG million-dollar bonuses being paid out with our taxpayer
money got me mad enough to, well, throw something.
So MoveOn member Kris Khoury helped us whip up a game that does just that!
It’s called “The Great AIG Tomato Toss,” and it’s oddly addictive. We
should stop throwing money at the people who ruined our economy–and start
throwing (virtual) tomatoes. Play it here:
It’s a fun game, but it’s got a serious purpose: to get the outrageous AIG
bonus money back. When you play the game, you can also sign our petition
to demand the return of the bonus money. The more people who play the
game, the more signatures we’ll be able to deliver to congress. 300,000 of
us have signed already, and we’re shooting for 400,000.
So check out the game, pass it on, and then sign the petition if you
haven’t already. Together, we’re going to get some justice from the people
who played a role in creating this whole financial crisis in the first
place–even if it that call for justice starts with a single, juicy,
digital tomato.
Thanks for all you do.
