Protesters Rally Outside AIG Offices
------------------------------------



Public outrage over the AIG bonuses fueled the congressional response.
On Thursday, demonstrators gathered outside AIG’s offices in Washington,
D.C. to decry the bonus payouts.

Amy Swanson: “It’s not fair to all the working people here who struggle
daily for our healthcare, income, pay their rent, pay their bills.”

Joan Nemeth: “Being paid $15,000 an hour compared to your workers’ hours
at $8 or $10 or even $15, where’s the justice in that? There is no
justice in being paid that much more.”

Francisco Cuison: “This bailout moneys from the government is taxpayers’
money, and it should be spread out to the people who needs it.”
