Where would we be indeed....Taxpayers didn't "have to" bail out anyone in order for capitalism to function properly. That was the decision of crooked politicians.The trillions that taxpayers have had to pay to bail out the banks/wall street is a sign of the failure of capitalism.
Seems fair.
I agree they did not have to. They did though. Where would we be if there was no Federal Reserve and our ability to go into an incredible amount of debt?
Where would we be if we had done the right thing and allowed a large number of banks and businesses to fail?
Where would we be if we weren't handing corporate farms billions of dollars?
The governments job is the defense of the people. Thats it. I didn't need oil companies, gm, solyndra, and all the other scam bailouts to occur to be protected.
No company should ever be considered too large to fail. Can't sell seats on your airplane sell the fucking airplane and cut your payroll
What you think is irrelevant to what we do. You believe we should practice capitalism. Great. I won't argue that. I'm arguing what we actually do.
