What is a free market society? Well, let me tell you. A free market society is a system of great ideas turned into great plans. Great plans are turned into great businesses, which in turn generate money. A quality business then pays taxes, hires employees, makes purchases, buys office supplies, contributes to charitable organizations, and buy new cars and other equipment, etc., etc., etc! That is free market. Some FAIL some PROSPER!
If every business that fails gets a bail-out why should they try so hard to achieve the American dream? In the early American Colonies, socialism was attempted. It was successful until people found out that they did not have to work hard to share in the wealth. I believe that
it is possible to come back from business failure; with creativity and hard work, it can be done.
Why is our Federal government choosing who will fail and who receives our tax dollars to keep going. What about the thriving business who was flourishing until their consumers began losing their jobs. The 401K's, IRA's, and other investments of their customer base started losing 1%, then 2%, then 5% and more. They had a good plan, a good product, but nevertheless, the business failed. If companies are creative and work hard they will be back. It is said that it took many tries to make the light bulb incorrectly and only one try to make it right. Failing is a fundamental part of the American dream, like it or not. It is not fair to bail out
some organizations while the rest are considered bad performers and are not eligible for these handouts.
However, the ones being bailed out are also in the same dire situation. (Why are they?) These bailouts must STOP now. If we want to repair the economy and Federal government is hell bent on stimulating the economy, then I propose that we close the bad banks, no more money! Start fresh banks with some sort of LOAN, not a HAND OUT! Assist the Small Business Association in lending innovative, smart businesses money. (REWARD INOVATION) FIX our highway systems. Start work on the POWER GRID, wind power, water power, drill oil on the continental shelf and in Alaska.
America needs to be more self contained. I believe these innovations will create more jobs and wealth in America than during any other time in history. People will be back to work. Penalize companies that ship our jobs over seas and hire illegal entrants. (There is no such thing as illegal immigrants, they are trespassing, taking jobs from nationals of our country and shipping our wealth to their home lands.) Stop selling out our homeland and make immigrants enter America properly. That alone will create millions of jobs. I say come to America properly, participate in our system and assimilate, or go home. That is the method of achieving the American dream which our country was built on.
