Americans Don't Want a Corporate Bailout
Sorry, Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson, but Americans want the free market and not Washington to decide which companies live or die. Pollster Frank Luntz tells Whispers that only 25 percent of voters want the Feds to bail out corporate America. In a poll for the Kauffman Foundation, apparently angry voters decidedly rejected those typically handed the nation's economic reins. Only 14 percent want a Fortune 500 CEO—like Paulson—to manage the economy, and a similar 14 percent want a lawmaker in charge. So, who's da boss? Some 56 percent said a successful small-business owner should run the shop.

HANDOUTS AINT THE SOLUTION
i agree, its not fair for the taxpayers to pay for the mistakes of the ceo etc. I think the only way capitalism works is if you let the markety sort outall the problems itself. The only way globalisation works is to let the free market sort it out. When the rich make mistakes then the companies should fail. Atleast this will allow such companies to learn from the mistakes. Government handouts encourage more corporatons to be irresponsible. GOVT HANDOUTS IS MOST CERTAINLY NOT A SOLUTON!!!!!
Why bailout CEO's and Executives
Why bailout CEO's and Executives after they created multi-million dollar salaries for them selves, with outrageous bonus's????
They should be held accountable and forced to pay it back!
Their performance was horrible and should be charged with white collar crimes.
