Exactly what money of yours has been given to cover exactly which losses? Please be as specific as you can. Thanks.
Classic herd mindset.
Pretty much new to the US; for generations Americans would say things like "squeaky wheel gets the grease", "build a better mousetrap..." or "early bird catches the worm." Contrast those to a typical Japanese saying "the nail that sticks out gets hammered down".
OK, so we got some Americans that have joined the herd. No problem, the rest of us are still typical American 'cowboys' rounding them up...
Hi, Toddsterpatriot. There are many, many cases...but I'll give you one as an example: National Flood Insurance Program.
Whether it's decades of the taxpayer subsidizing the insurance of people in flood-prone areas, or the taxpayer-subsized (government) purchase of flood-prone land at inflated rates in the 90s, or the rebuilding of a city that flooded and is sinking (this decade), we have plenty of examples. When I moved to my address, I took the time and expense to examine historical aerial photos and soil survey maps, and consulted a geologist to confirm the site. When flooding took out 250 places below, I was glad I wasn't living in a former river channel...but did I ever get a check from the government to subsidize the engagement of a geologist? No. Did they thank me for being responsible? :-) No.
Additionally, even if there are no tax raises directly associated with bailouts, don't be fooled that you're not losing money. Devaluing the dollar and increasing your debt burden are two ways the government can confiscate money from you without having to increase tax rates. And that's the current favorite method.
