Driving the economy into recession and raising living costs to insane 
levels wasn't enough for the tech industry, now the option babies are 
upset because their stock options are underwater and they owe big 
taxes.  Sheese.  I know people who have gotten into this situation 
and it all occurred because they were greedy.  They didn't sell their 
options at exercise time, instead choosing to hold onto the stock so 
they would pay less taxes down the road.  Will Congress succumb and 
bail them out like AG has bailed out the big companies that made the 
wrong decisions?

Tech workers are taking a big tax hit on their stock options. Will 
Congress come to the rescue?
