Time to collect that $40M before it gets converted into CEO bonuses.

Stop handing out money to gangsters and thieves … if you feel good handing it to Bell … might as well do the same for the Hell’s Angels and Asian gangs because it would do the same thing to our country.

If government gives money to big corps like Bell … average citizens don’t benefit
If government doesn’t give money to big corps like Bell … average citizens don’t benefit but at least we didn’t have to pay for it

Stop handing out money to those that give no benefit to the country. It’s like investing in destroying the nation.

The only way government should finance these industries is by forcing them to do secondary share offerings to be purchased by the government. Your company needs so much help that it becomes 50%+1 owned by the government? Too bad, you’re nationalized.

What did they expect?

I mean, seriously, what did they expect? Capitalism gotta capitalize, and I suspect that if our economy wasn’t in terrible shape we wouldn’t be witnessing any theatrical indignation on the part of our leadership whatsoever. They aren’t angry that this is happening, they’re angry they got caught and being made to look bad and are desperately trying to get ahead of the story before they become the story.

This is all theatre to avoid real discussions about how companies and the wealthy were not, and are not, taxed fairly. When you can make a billion in profit a year and pay your executives millions and still do share buybacks and still cut staff, employees and services while still raising prices then you have too much cash on hand.

Tax them. Force them to either put that money back into the business, or pay it to the government. Stop letting them create Scrooge McDuck-style swimming pools of cash that do nothing.
