My AIG Quandry
I have been totally against these bonuses, but when I heard his comment today I started thinking that if congress can do this with AIG bonuses, what would stop them from taxing my quarterly bonus at 100%? Then I started thinking, these folks that got these bonuses, did they earn them based on some contract they had and lived up to? No one on the news has answered that question.
Basically, what it boiled down to by the end of the day was confusion. Then this evening I watched Glenn Beck on TV. He broke the whole thing down in a very logical and easy to understand way. This video is not his complete presentation, but it explains a lot about this whole mess.

Stimulate Columbia MO Press Conference
Good morning, and welcome to the kick off of the Stimulate
As one of the organizers of the Stimulate Columbia project, I speak for all of us when I tell you that we are passionate about loving our city and we only want the best for it. That’s why we hand-picked a few local organizations that already do a great job of helping people right here in
We already know that
116 local agencies said that 90,324 people volunteered in
As amazing as those facts are, there is still more work to be done, and there are still people here in
Allow me to share the vision that the organizers of Stimulate Columbia have put together:
These unprecedented times have citizens and politicians alike searching far and wide for ideas to save our economy. The government, for months, has been wrestling with how to spend our money, and in the mean time, people are losing jobs, families are running out of money, and the next generation is losing hope.
Instead of waiting for
As local layoffs increase, we’re giving our money freely to non-profit groups who work to rehabilitate those who have lost their jobs.
As low-income parents struggle to provide for their children, we’re giving money freely to local charities who work to make sure no one is left without the bare necessities of life.
And for those in the next generation, our children, who are losing hope, we’re giving our money freely to organizations who work with at-risk youth.
We believe the answer is not government; it’s small communities of people banding together to take care of their own. People like you and me right here in
I challenge every citizen in
1. Plan to give a portion, or all of your tax refund to one of our partner organizations.
2. Give 10% of your next paycheck, or your next 2 paychecks, to one of our partner organizations.
3. Give some of your time to one of our partner organizations.
We have set up a website where you can easily learn more about our partners, and also donate to them directly. The website address is stimulatecolumbiamo.org.
We are also hosting the Stimulate Columbia MO Expo, this Saturday, March 14th from 9am to 1pm at the Cherry Street Artisan in downtown
One thing I can tell you with certainty; the people standing before you this morning love this city and the people in it. They work hard every day to make a difference here. They only want the best for the people they help and their goal is to help change these peoples’ lives so they can move on and be contributing members of our community.
