I've paid my bills and never had the government bail me out. I'm tired of the government taking my money to compensate someone else for their failures.
A friend of mine went to last weekend's DC protest. She's smart enough to write a protest poster and spell all the words correctly. I would have gone with her, except I had prior commitments.
And by the way, I don't waste my time with Rush, Glenn Beck, etc, nor do I read Fox news that much.

First point, dislike it all you like, the bailout was actually profitable for the govt. AIG is making its back payments on time, and the govts. share of citigroup have actually turned out a 11 billion dollar profit.
Second point, while the govt. did indeed spend a lot of money on car makers and etc., none of those expenditures even come close to medicare and military, which are close to half the entire budget and should increase further in time. And these two spending items are things tea party protests want more of! That is the lunacy.
