New York's attorney general demanded on Wednesday that the American International Group recover bonuses and other payments from its former executives, lest he take formal action against the insurer.

Recently bailed out by the federal government, A.I.G. is afloat only because of billions of dollars in government loans. With more and more taxpayer money committed, Congress and others have expressed outrage over high pay in general at financial firms and in particular at some of the perks that have come to light at A.I.G.

This visualization below allows you to see the impact that each user has on the current conversation. The top row contains the group of users who have had the most impact, the 2nd row the group of users who have had the 2nd most impact (et cetera). Users with similar impact are grouped together, and the average score of the group is shown to the left of the group. The author of the article is also shown on the left, in their corresponding group. Each user's score is based on the number of comments the user has made plus the number of votes their comments have received. The scores are calculated relative one another, so while their absolute value is not particularly important, their relative difference does indicate a larger difference in impact on the conversation.

follow the money

tell the attorney general this...

its not what is on their tax returns..

you have to "follow the money" and look at all the "perks", "extras", "bonuses" or "others" which throws their so called pay way, way up..

like for instance..million dollar vacation homes, private schooling for their children, college tuition for their kids, private jets, cars, limousines, catered foods for their familys which came from "nowhere"..."free" beer, and booze, sex, and prostitution, included also.

say...you are like bush..you have 400, 000 on your tax returns right?

but look at it carefully, with a microscope....it doesn't cover all of the

"extras, perks, bonuses, or others" too..now THAT!

is how they hide all their money from the IRS. all those extras...

put them all under a microscope, and follow the money!
