Brother Can You Spare A Billion?

Read my lips. NO CORPORATE WELFARE. Seriously, these piece of shit, greedy scumbags, make horrible long term decisions based on short term profits and bonuses. Then, when the obvious finally happens, they run to government, asking for $700 billion in taxpayer assistance, a truly sickening number. Then they hoard the money, which was supposed to be used for loans to help stimulate the economy. Then they pay out BONUSES with the money, PAY DIVIDENDS with the money, and now we learn, the bailout included an additional $140 billion in tax breaks for these fucking criminals.

No wonder the auto makers are next in line with their hands out. And when they get their multi-billion dollar bailout, there will be no end to the companies standing in line waiting for theirs.

Say it with me. THIS. ENDS. HERE. No more of this bullshit about how these companies are "too big too fail", meaning that if they fail it would mean dire consequences to the world economy. Maybe it's true. So what? I guarantee you, if GM, or any other big, huge, out of control company ceases to exist, you and I will still wake up in the morning. We'll still breath, we'll still go on with our lives.

A bankrupt company is far more desirable than a bankrupt nation, which is what we will ultimately be faced with if this bailout trend continues. The United States of China is not that big of a stretch considering how much money we already owe China, and how much worse this could get if we continue to bailout fuckups at every turn.

So say it again. THIS. ENDS. HERE. No more corporate welfare. If a company is fucked up beyond repair then they go the way of the dinosaurs. Humanity will survive. I guarantee it.
