We didn’t take a bailout

To accept money from the government is to invite government to exert inappropriate control in our lives, and thus to shun what made America great: liberty. When companies received “bailout” money from the government and misused it, people were angry. The government began saying, “If you take our money, we’re going to have a say in how you use it.” That makes sense, and it’s awful to have the government meddling in business affairs. We didn’t take any bailout money from the government, and thus the government can’t tell us to how to use our money.
