Why are those that support capitalism complaining about the AIG bonuses?

[comradeotto]

When its the very economic system of capitalism that has allowed these bonuses. I know youre upset that its your tax dollars that have funded it and all that but thats what happens when you desparately try to save capitalism from itself by throwing money at private companies in the hope they wont collapse and then expect the CEOs to do the right thing. The whole AIG crap is just an example of how capitalism works (or doesnt work).
what the hell is it then fozz? socialism? no it cant be because under socialism theyd of been nationalised and there wouldnt even be the problem of bonuses right now. if you think giving private companies money to survive despite all their failings is anything but capitalism youre the ignorant one
70% isnt 100%. the government is owning the company for the good of the workers either so its definately not socialism. if its not capitalism then its fascism.
isnt owning i should say
and i dont see anything as capitalist as you said. corportate welfare is capitalist. spending another $1 trillion to fix wall st is capitalist. youre obviously one of the countless ignorant americans who think what obamas done is socialism. im just pointing out no socialist government would be doing anything like obama has. justgoodfolk has it right. you dream of some utopian capitalism that has never existed. any short fallings of the one you have you refuse to accept

Many conservatives are not complaining about the bonuses. It is a trivial amount of money anway. The complaint is that (a) we bailed them out in the first place, and (b) all the Dems are complaining that they did not know the language was in the bill, since that is exactly what many of us warned about here on Y! answers and many republicans warned about. Rushing through legislation is dangerous.

Even yet still, I doubt any one person has read the entire bill. totally pathetic leadership in congress.
