How is it any different from taxes paid by Americans either directly or indirectly through money-printing driven inflation, being used to bail out bankers in the great financial crisis? If I recall correctly the government took trillions from ordinary citizens to pay out the banking elite as a thank you for the bankers and rating agencies committing rampant fraud in MBS and CDOs - all while none of them were ever charged with crimes and none went to jail. Many bankers even received massive bonuses from taxpayer-funded bailout funds as well.
