“given that the wealthiest companies in America were just bailed out by the federal government to the tune of trillions? Wealth may produce wealth, but until wealth gets its head out of its ass, the government will be footing the bill whenever wealth f’s up and produces zeros. You have fewer brain cells than hair on your head.”

Thats funny… This was Obama’s plan to bail these guys out…. and now your compaining about it? I thought you supported Obama?

As far as I am concerned GM should have been allowed to fail, the banks should have failed. This is how the free market works. When you do well, you can become wealthy, when you fail you stand to lose it all. It has its own natural checks and balances… and the government should keep its hands out as much as possible.
