America loves corporate welfare while hating on individual welfare.
If a business fails we have no problem bailing them out. It isn't the businesses fault. It's the current economic situation.
If an individual fails then they made mistakes and failed to pull themselves up by their bootstraps.
I'm being a bit hyperbolic but really, America loves corporate welfare.
Look at the south: they'll sell themselves down the river for 20 oil refinery jobs but the second someone needs food stamps they're a loser.
A lil bit of it is also the "not yet a millionaire" mentality that a lot of Americans have. They believe that one day they'll also be rich so we shouldn't punish the rich, it may be them one day.
