People argue that we should, because they're massive employers and so forth. But I pose two questions:
First, where do you drawn the line? Don't employees of Ma and Pa businesses (including the Ma and the Pa) - people who are most likely only making $7/hr - have just as much right to earn a living, regardless of how large or how meager that living may be? Why don't we bail out all of the small businesses around the country, too? Which would lead to another question - why don't we bail out all the one-man (or one-woman) operations...yeah, that's a can of sticky worms...
Secondly, haven't other corporations (namely, the airlines, K-Mart, etc.) gone into bankruptcy? They're still around, aren't they???
