Right, because it's not "free market" it's all government controlled market. Like this comment from above.

Both parties in our country have decided that nothing should happen unless a person who is already rich gets richer. That Government should never take any action if it possibly reduces the chance that someone else would make profit off of a problem.

Yes, that's not capitalism or free market. That's government interference. Big difference. Like the whole too big to fail non-sense. No, government get out of the way and let them fail.
