I was under the impression we lived in a democratic capitalistic society, which encouraged and supported ambitious people to go after their dreams, where only the strong survive in a business arena? There are still intelligent individuals out there with that burning desire to succeed, and willing to take the risks required to make their ideas a reality. New entrepreneurs are the ones willing to work countless hours, roll up their sleeves doing the dirty jobs if necessary. Perhaps the heads of these large corporations looking for bailouts forgot that basic principal, which is most likely the very reason for their companies’ poor performance.
