Let's just be clear here: we (taxpayers, government) own 79.9% of this company and they are suing the IRS (government) for money ON TOP of the $170 billion (with a B) that we have given them in bailout money. AIG says they are suing for overpaid taxes for the benefit of it's stockholders. Pardon me if I am wrong here, but isn't the government the biggest stockholder? Paying from one hand to feed the other is only going to make lawyers richer and the people poorer. I knew there was something true in the saying that the only thing left on the earth in the end will be Twinkies, cockroaches, and lawyers.
