I would like to plead with you to stop the taxpayer funded bailouts of corporate America. Will we, the American taxpayer, be receiving the profits of these companies when all is said and done? I think not. And all of this to the tune of $1 Trillion. Yes, that's trillion with a "T" - the current price tag of the Iraq war.
We live in a capitalist society, so let's let capitalism work it's magic. These companies made very, very bad decisions. They were greedy, plain and simple. They tried to sell mortgages to people who had no business getting a mortgage. Will the government bail me out if I buy a car that I can no longer afford? Never in a million years. Why then, should we, and I mean us, the citizens of the United States, continue to fund the reckless decisions these corporations make? This is absolutely ludicrous. The only ones getting a good deal here are the executives and upper management of the companies being bailed out. Instead of these bailouts, you should be firing them all and taking away their golden parachutes.
Come election time, you can be sure I won't forget about this. This is the largest travesty perpetrated on the American people to date. This is socialism for corporate America. But I guess you're OK with that, since they funded your last campaign.
