The government has done enough for the big corporations with the bail out money that these corporations received and did nothing with. So why save them from bankruptcy? While millions of American are now facing bankruptcy from these crooked corporations, our government stands by and does nothing to help the common person.
It seems we have not learned anything in the past five years, it has only gotten worse for many. These corporations are getting away with financial murder and not one has gone to jail behind stealing money from the American people. Most of these "big" corporations have cried "wolf" and our government took the bait. Which leaves one to speculate, how much did our government really know before all of meltdown began?
Many analysts claim that what happened to our economy was too complicated to understand? The big question on everyones mind is; how complicated was it for these corporations to be crooks? Wall Street is a fine example of our governments undertaking. Many Americans are struggling from day to day just to survive. Many families have taking their own lives behind this madness that still continues today.
There has not been one big corporation who has stepped forward and said; "Yes, we messed up and we want to help the American people get back on their feet." Instead they give us a song and dance, then state if they file bankruptcy, America will fall? How far does the rabbit hole really go? Millions have been given to these corporations and nothing has been done for the American people, only the loss of houses and more jobs has been on the horizon.
We the tax payers of American have had the biggest scam thrown in our faces and when we begin to ask the question how this could of happened, all we get is more excuses from our own government. So we are suppose to just sit back and now have these corporations file bankruptcy, take the millions they got from the bail out and watch them leave the country? Our government then will state once again; "we had no choice." It appears to many that our government is hiding something from us about these corporation's. Many of them put money in our congress pocket, while our congress acts like they care.
Corruption has been plaguing this country for the last five years. In the next few month there will be some corporation that files bankruptcy that we gave bail out money to, and everyone will complain like aways, but no one has the guts to stand up to these corporations, not even our own government.
