Why should the tax payer that has debt to the banks that took taxpayer bailout money have to pay it back ? We borrowed from all these banks that got taxpayer bailout money wether it be credit cards, or other types of loans now the same banks are borrowing back from us the taxpayer.Maybe the banks can call a debt relief agentcy so we can get our money back.

I have a family member who is looking towards me for a bailout of some sort. Not a “if not done now, I'll go into the streets” kind of bailout, but something that would very much better his standard of living.

I think I'll forward this gem of an article to him.

What a novel concept – take responsibility for your own actions. I agree that this can, and does, apply to any situation that you can think of.

True, JUngle, the companies getting the bailouts didn't get the bailouts because they deserved it, or because they were such great corporate citizens. My point was just that you aren't going to get a bailout – at least under our current administration, the corporations are getting all the help and citizens are getting none. OUR only real hope is hard work and positivity, and hoping that the campaign promises of change weren't empty (but I'll believe it when I see it).

“Hard work and positivity” ? Oh right, because that's exactly the route all the bailout banks and car companies and mortgage companies — and all their greedy sociopath CEO's — took to arrive where we are today. And we musn't forget about the positively hard working government either! No scheming going on there either.

If success is measured in dollars, as it is in a capitalist society, then “truly successful people” (see above list) will indeed get a bailout — paid for by YOUR hard work and positivity!
