Sam Johnson condemns bailout culture

With all this talk about another big bank bailout and protecting companies that are too big to fail, I think we need to bring things back into perspective -- the government should not be in the business of picking winners and losers - especially not at the expense of the American taxpayer.

America was built on freedom and free enterprise. Our Founding Fathers never envisioned a big brother government so entrenched in the private sector that it would prop up companies like Fannie and Freddie, rescue Wall Street, bailout AIG and own car companies.

What incentive does a corporation have to be responsible to its employees, customers, communities and shareholders if it knows Uncle Sam will be there to pick up the pieces when it falls apart?

With unemployment at 10% and companies hesitant to hire new workers, the Democrats should realize its time to stop playing CEO with taxpayer dollars.

Thank you Sam. I just wish the other side of the aisle would listen to sound statements like this. They just don't believe in the greatness of limited government.
