Part of me agrees with that logic, but another part of me is stirred to ask the question "What in the hell are you talking about?".
Like it or not, corporations are the very reason that you enjoy life in the fashion that you currently do. Corporations employ the majority of Americans, provide most of the goods and services that everyone finds essential to current life. Are they in it to make a profit? Hell yes they are. Have you benefited from their very existence? You bet your Iphone loving ass you did.
So, let's say we allow the corporations to fail. What then? Are you prepared to take on farming, making your own goods and tools, devising your own communication. energy and travel systems as a way of life? (Don't kid yourself, the vast majority would be lost without modern life in place)
Face it, the corporations are important. They need our help, as we all depend upon them. Not just for the jobs that they provide, but for the very services and life that we have all become accustomed to. So, unless you want to go back to digging rows for crops, and beating molten metal all day to forge tools, I'd say you should get behind the bailout of the corporations. (as ugly as it seems, just turn your head and swallow hard)
Pretty strange to hear coming from a guy who normally bangs the capitalism drum.
Well at least you admit this form of capitalism we have is broken and socialism comes to save the day.
I supported the bail outs last time. I don’t want to see anything American based fold up and go under this time either. But it is getting old.
Maybe we should stop giving tax cuts to the rich and subsidizing massive businesses. And like some portion of this bailout is attempting to do. Focus on making it a bubble up economy instead of repeating this broke ass trickle down shit
