THIS. Seriously, we prop up failing industries and companies in this country, which then they go on to screw over consumers when they are healthy again, while the leaders decry anyone who isn't making millions as "takers" or worse.

Tax the rich. For crying out loud, tax the rich.

This coming from someone whose HHI places me firmly in the .1% It is an outrage how the system benefits me and not people who actually need it.


Agree 10000%, also in the .1%

Yes, it's better than anything else.

But the way some of you romanticize it is nauseating.
