I'm with you guys on this one. If we indeed live in a Capitalist country, then there is NO WAY that the government should bail anyone out of this one, including the banks. Otherwise this is going to turn out to be just like the Savings & Loans bailout in the early 90s. I don't pay taxes so that that government can give corporate welfare to some business that made poor decisions. If they made poor decisions, then they deserve to go bankrupt.

If someone wants to change this economy to socialist, then that is a whole other subject. But if we are capitalist, then we are capitalist. Don't say we are capitalist, but then do socialist things. It is either one way or the other. Capitalism means "free market", i.e. the government keeps out of it.
