AIG executives gave more than $630,000 during the 2008 political cycle even as the company was falling apart

AIG employees kept doling out donations to politicians, including presidential candidate Barack Obama, after getting bailed out with federal funds last year, raising the question of whether those politicians will now return the money.
According to the Center for Responsive Politics, which tracks campaign finance reports, more than $120,000 of that money was donated after AIG received its first $85 billion in federal bailout funds in September. The company has since received a total of $170 billion in taxpayer cash to prevent its collapse.

Wow! $630 grand to get back 170 billion! Where can I make an investment like that?

On the part of AIG that was pretty shrewd; they had no guarantee they were going to be the recipient of favoritism, but it worked out. On the part of the congressmen that was pretty criminal; they knew exactly what they were doing as they were doing it and after they did it.

Why are big corporations bad and why is big government good again? Why am I suppose to support socialism now?
