washington — acting swiftly, the democratic-led house approved a bill thursday to slap punishing taxes on big employee bonuses at firms bailed out by taxpayers. the bill would impose a 90 percent tax on bonuses given to employees with family incomes above $250,000 at american international group and other companies that have received at least $5 billion in government bailout money. "we want our money back now for the taxpayers," house speaker nancy pelosi said. democrats led the charge in an attempt to get in front of raging public anger over the aig bonuses, even though a provision that would have made such payouts illegal was stripped from last month's $787 billion stimulus bill by its democratic sponsors. the vote to tax back most of the bonuses was 328-93. voting "yes" were 243 democrats and 85 republicans. it was opposed by six democrats and 87 republicans. the bonuses, totaling $165 million, were paid to employees of troubled insurer aig over the weekend, including to traders in the unit that nearly brought about the company's collapse. clickity for more
