Corporate bailouts are more or less nationalism. The banks should be left to fail and collapse. The rich bankers should pay their own debts- not tax payers.Who cares much that workers are out of work? These corporates have $50 million salaries plus bonuses for losing money. Tax payers money being wasted on bonuses and salaries that is waste. Let them fail and let the tycoons go and ruin another business due to their incompetence and mismanagement. 

US is now in a jobless economic recovery. It must pay back its debts with higher taxes on the middle class and workers and lower company taxes. Companies board of directors are family owned business in Corporate America. Nepotism of aristocratic bloodlines dating back to the 18th century control the International Banks and big companies in America and around the world.. 

Actually agree with you on something. GM should of failed also, or found its own funding.

Yes , I forgot about the road taxes and everything. Those we got here to. 19% VAT and 6 % VAT on Life products (food etc.). You also need to pay A LOT for a car. Depending on the cost of your car and the fuel efficiency. A car that costs around 20k Euro's , you need to pay another 7k tax. An Audi A4 costs around 26k but here it costs almost 33k because of taxes. You have taxes on water , gas , using the sewage system , fuel taxes.You pay taxes over the money you earn (if you own a company). Also you have to pay taxes when you pay someone to work. The person you pay has to pay income taxes. So they get more then enough money.  

Some better explanation :

We pay a lot , but I personally think it is one of the best ruled country's in the world. Especially compared to country's like in the middle-east , most of Asia , and also America seems a bit of a mess.
