CT Taxes TARP bonuses

I'm glad the Connecticut legislature had the cojones to tax TARP (Troubled Asset Relief Program) bonuses.  It's about time that those who have sacked and plundered the local and national economy pay back some of what they've stolen.

Having been a sailor on a sinking ship for all of 2009 myself, it has astonished me that the captains who steered the ships off course in the first place should be rewarded for drilling big holes in the hulls.  And it's been all the more stunning that they should receive generous bonuses (made up of taxpayer's money) when it's been the very taxpayers whom they have screwed who have saved their sorry gluteus maxima.
