1. CEOs AND STOCKHOLDERS ARE PEOPLE. Everything our government does (legislators do) to help people will help them. Paying CEOs and stockholders to keep their organizations going will not serve them as well as paying workers to produce. Workers are eager to help and we (me and my government) need to respect the CEOs’ aspiration to manage viable industries. We do not need to bail out financiers for shuffling paper. Industry and finance are supported by the results of labor.
2. OUR GOVERNMENT COULD PAY FOR THE LABOR to work on our infrastructure. Nobody needs allegedly “free stuff.” ( It’s not free because we have to pay back the creditor who financed it.) “Free grants” are not good for bankers who don’t do anything to earn them.
3. WE NEED EMPLOYMENT. We the people need to earn income to pay our obligations to the banks, some of it via small businesses who sell to us and then repay their loans. That would “bailout” the system. Free money to the banks and legislated financial organizations, such as corporations, will not return a major benefit to anyone.
