General Motors CEO Richard Wagoner:

That is just one guy, $14.5 million in one year... Yeah, they really need a bail out. But of course once again when they fail the fat cats will run off with the money and the poor workers will be left in the lurch.

The free market in reality. The year before his company goes bankrupt this guy gets paid $14.5 million and a rise of 41% over the previous year. Got to love the free market working. Plus the trickle down effect.

What ever choice is made on the bail out the tax payer will pay.
