How long to repay the $700 billion?

You should have asked how long it will take those institutions to pay back their loans.

Brian May is a British citizen, therefore, he is not required to pay any U.S. taxes. Freddie Mercury, a notorious homosexual, won't have to pay any taxes either because he died of AIDs.

They are are not loans.
Loans have interest rates and default clauses.
This is a handout, pure and simple.

AIG has already begun selling assets to repay the loan. So far, thay've borrowed 61 billion.

Hey anal chancre: George Bush tried to put the brakes on this mess while the Democratically controlled Congress pushed for business as usual.

Are you talking about AIG or are you talking about the bill that passed today? They're two different things, I'm not sure which one I'm supposed to address.

My question is simple:

Assuming that Brian Mae, Freddie Mercury and AIG had continued paying Tax at the same rate as their returns for 2006-2007, then how many years would it have taken them combined to "repay" the $700 billion stolen from the taxpayers?

I have searched in vain for their tax contributions.
Can anyone indicate how much corporation tax they have paid recently?

Repay $700 billion? You actually think these people have any intention of paying down the national debt? LOL.

How many $700-800 billion dollar bailouts have there been? Why are you so confused?

Originally posted by Merk
AIG, Fannie and Freddie where separate bailouts. Not a part of the recent $800 billion bailout.

What a waste of money.

Days and days of freefall on the market.
What a waste of 800 billion.

How do you US tax payers feel now?
