HERE WE GO

Tra la la, tra la la. Here we go down the slippery slope:

Sarah Anderson, an analyst with the Institute for Policy Studies and an advocate for more stringent controls on executive pay, said she hopes the AIG situation will prompt Congress to pass heavier taxes on executive pay even at companies that are not receiving government funds. [emphasis mine]
[...]
“They need to put restrictions on all forms of compensation at these companies,” Anderson said.

Alas, Sarah Anderson is not Sarah Grok ...

AIG is just the beginning. We look forward to the slope becoming steeper - even downright vertical! Then cOngress will pass a 100% tax on all Omericans! By then all companies will be natiOnalized. So bureaucrats will give paychecks to the proletariat who will have to hand them back. A whole class will be created to manage this circular flow of paper. Perfect make-work! Goodbye unemployment! The wOrking class will be so grateful to their Great Leaders that they will vote for them in perpetuity! Palin in 2012? Don't make us laugh!
