More random maybe semi-interesting things

"Using Tax to 'Surgically Punish a Small Group' May Be Unconstitutional"
It seems pretty clear right now that Obama is against this tax on the AIG bonuses
Here's just a few random things I found that I thought might be "share-worthy"
I think the president would be concerned that this bill may have some problems in going too far -- the House bill may go too far in terms of some -- some legal issues, constitutional validity, using the tax code to surgically punish a small group...That -- that may be a dangerous way to go."
-Jared Bernstein, the vice president's economic adviser
The White House must walk a fine line, because a plan in Congress to tax 90% of the AIG bonuses could scare off the very investors the government needs to make the next phase of the recovery plan work.
-ABC News Article
So what do you think? Should we agree with Obama and follow his opinions, or do you think we should go through with the tax so that "justice" can be served?
