Memo to Mr. DeSantis

Date: March 26, 2009
To Mr. DeSantis
From: The American Taxpayer
Subject: Resignation


Thank you so much for your resignation letter from AIG. While we applaud your action to resign from AIG, we would also like to express that we are not empathetic with you and the rationale for your resignation. You are upset that after we, the American Taxpayers, provided AIG with billions, not millions, of dollars in bailout monies that we do not see the need for retention bonuses to be paid to “ANY” AIG employee regardless if you were instrumental in the organization’s despicable behavior that has significantly contributed to the financial crisis that the American economy is experiencing. When a company indicates that they are not profitable, then how can they pay bonuses to employees without profit? Think logically. Your complaint is that you are not receiving over $700, 000 in retention bonuses. I can only imagine what your salary must be. While you are crying “foul”, there are American Taxpayers that provided the bailout monies to AIG that are homeless and destitute and you have the audacity (and that is not “of hope”) to contend that Attorney Generals Cuomo and Blumenthal should be embarrassed for threatening to expose you to the American Taxpayers and to place you in the “Hall of Shame” for which you belong. Wise up!!! You have been “playing” on the ignorance of the American Taxpayers for so long that you have actually begun to believe in your own superiority. So as the American Taxpayer that now holds 80% equity in AIG, I accept your resignation and also tender that no letter of recommendation will be offered. I will contest any applications for unemployment benefits and lastly, you have just subjected yourself to the “Hall of Shame”. Your picture and name will be forever remembered by the American Taxpayer as a member of the illustrious group of people that crumbled the American economy and expected a “reward”. With that being said, do not complain if the American Taxpayers continues to harass you or if you are not “snapped” up immediately by another firm, as you will be forever “blacklisted” by the American Taxpayers as an unsavory character that has lived in the “life of luxury” so long that you are out of touch with reality and the Middle Class.
